Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to a method comprising: obtaining a list of data paths to at least one persistent storage device through a plurality of NUMA nodes; associating with each data path, access performance information; receiving a request to access one of the at least one persistent storage device; calculating a preferred data path to the one of the at least one persistent storage device using the access performance information; and accessing the one of the at least one persistent storage device using the preferred data path.

Abstract: A method comprising: receiving, at a vector processor, a request to store data; performing, by the vector processor, one or more transforms on the data; and directly instructing, by the vector processor, one or more storage device to store the data; wherein performing one or more transforms on the data comprises: erasure encoding the data to generate n data fragments configured such that any k of the data fragments are usable to regenerate the data, where k is less than n; and wherein directly instructing one or more storage device to store the data comprises: directly instructing the one or more storage devices to store the plurality of data fragments.
