Improving I/O Forwarding Throughput with Data Compression
2011
2011 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing
While network bandwidth is steadily increasing, it is doing so at a much slower rate than the corresponding increase in CPU performance. This trend has widened the gap between CPU and network speed. In this paper, we investigate improvements to I/O performance by exploiting this gap. We harness idle CPU resources to compress network traffic, reducing the amount of data transferred over the network and increasing effective network bandwidth. We created a set of compression services within the
