Erasure Coding - FPGA / Hardware Acceleration

[Sean Redmond <sean.redmond1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ceph-Uers,

I noticed that Soft Iron now have hardware acceleration for Erasure Coding[1], this is interesting as the CPU overhead can be a problem in addition to the extra disk I/O required for EC pools.

Does anyone know if any other work is ongoing to support generic FPGA Hardware Acceleration for EC pools, or if this is just a vendor specific feature.

Thanks
