As Facebook expands our Btrfs deployment onto different tiers of storage, we are adapting Btrfs to take advantage of high speed storage. This talk will discuss benchmarks and performance analysis of the latest Btrfs developments, and describe the use cases inside Facebook where we are using the unique features provided by Btrfs.
Chris is a Software Engineer on the kernel team at Facebook, and the maintainer of the Btrfs filesystem. He has been working full time on the kernel for over 16 years, and lives in Rochester New York.

Low latency, high bandwidth communication is critical for HPC workloads. In this presentation we describe the architecture and performance characteristics of Linux guest RDMA with Hyper-V as the host. The primary deployment target for this functionality is public Cloud environments where tenant isolation is critical. We have come up with an interesting architecture where the Control plane is over a software mediated path (to ensure security) while the Data plane completely by-passes both host and the guest kernels. The result is a near-native performance profile while ensuring security.

This talk will outline use of Kinetic ethernet disk drive technology to build a petabyte-scale object storage system. The Kinetic Open Storage Project has incubated a set of hardware products and software interfaces to allow individual disk drives to be directly connected to general-purpose ethernet networking (instead of being hidden behind SAS/SATA or FC busses) and to be access via a key-value API (instead of traditional LBA access). The talk will overview experiences with a cluster of over 500 ethernet drives interconnected into a single cluster and operating as a single large-scale storage system. We will discuss the physical design, logical software structures, API benefits and limitations, manageability, and performance of this solution in comparison to traditional systems.
