PYRIT: a new high-perf. and versatile erasure code for distributed storage

DESCRIPTION

• Pyrit is a new erasure code algorithm based on an innovative mathematical approach
• The algorithm becomes much simpler
• Up to 2X gain for encoding or decoding speed compared to Intel’s optimized ISA-L library (test in single thread, see below)
• Suited to even low-cost CPUs with predictable performance
• Low memory requirements
• Can benefit from hardware acceleration and multi-threading

APPLICATION

• Integrated storage devices
• Cloud storage
• Multi-site storage
