Impact of Intel vs. ARM CPU Performance for Object Storage

By Frank WesselsThe recent announcement from AWS about the general availability of their new ARM-powered Graviton2 servers caused us to take another look at the performance of these ARM servers. In this blog post we describe the results which you may find surprising.IntroductionMinIO is an Apache licensed, open source S3-compatible object storage server with a particular focus on high performance. It is capable of reading and writing …See More

Accelerating aggregate MD5 hashing up to 800% with AVX512

By Frank WesselsIntroductionWhile MD5 hashing is no longer a good choice when considering a hash function, it is still being used in a great variety of applications. As such any performance improvements that can be made to the MD5 hashing speed are worth considering.Due to recent improvements in SIMD processing (AVX2 and especially AVX512) we are providing a Go md5-simd package that accelerates MD5 hashing in aggregate by up to 400% on AVX2 and up…See More

Data Storage at the Edge: Typologies and Attributes

Edge computing is a hot topic and carries with it some confusion, particularly around storage. Handling data properly at the edge can ensure a scalable, cost-effective and secure infrastructure - but failing to set up the right architecture can lead to data loss, security vulnerabilities and sky-high costs related to the bandwidth needed to transfer data repeatedly to and from the public cloud. Bandwidth is a key consideration from an architecture perspective, and the reason why is clear: it is…See More

You can't containerize an appliance: why Kubernetes and high performance object storage are tech's new building blocks.

There are two forces that are fundamentally remaking the technology landscape today. One is Kubernetes and the other is high performance Object Storage. They are powering (or are shaped by, depending on your perspective) modern, data-rich applications that include AI/ML and application logs. Either way, modern applications need Kubernetes and Object Storage and Kubernetes and Object Storage owe their rise in part to these same modern applications.They are symbiotic and they are tech’s new…See More

simdjson-go: Parsing gigabytes of JSON per second in Go

Written by Frank WesselsIntroductionJSON has established itself as the "lingua franca" of the web. As such the parsing performance of JSON is hugely important for many applications. Despite the simple and human-friendly nature of JSON, it is not a technically trivial format to parse at high speeds.Recently some new designs have been presented one of which is simdjson by Daniel Lemire and Geoff Langdale. simdjson uses a novel, two stage approach…See More

Kubernetes Storage Patterns

Via Nitish TiwariKubernetes has fundamentally altered  the traditional application development and deployment patterns. Application development teams can now develop, test and deploy their apps in days, across different environments, all within their Kubernetes clusters. Previous generations of technology typically took weeks if not months.This acceleration is possible due to the abstraction that Kubernetes brings to the table, i.e. it deals with underlying details of physical or virtual…See More

Breaking the HDFS Performance Barrier; An Object Storage First

By Siddartha ManiFew would argue with the statement that Hadoop HDFS is in decline. In fact, the HDFS part of the Hadoop ecosystem is in more than just decline - it is in freefall. At the time of its inception, it had a meaningful role to play as a high-throughput, fault-tolerant distributed file system. The secret sauce was data locality. By co-locating compute and data on the same nodes, HDFS overcame the limitations of slow network access to data. The implications, however, are well known at…See More

Running Peta-Scale Spark Jobs on Object Storage Using S3 Select

When one looks at the amazing roster of talks for most data science conferences what you don’t see is a lot of discussion on how to leverage object storage. On some level you would expect to — ultimately if you want to run your Spark or Presto job on peta-scale data sets and have it be available to your applications in the public or private cloud — this would be the logical storage architecture.While logical, there has been a catch, at least historically, and that is object storage wasn’t…See More
