Fire-Flyer File System from DeepSeek

Fire-Flyer File System The Fire-Flyer File System (3FS) is a high-performance distributed file system designed to address the challenges of AI training and inference workloads. It leverages modern SSDs and RDMA networks to provide a shared storage layer that simplifies development of distributed applications. Key features and benefits of 3FS include: Performance and Usability Disaggregated Architecture Combines the throughput of thousands of SSDs and the network bandwidth of hundreds of storage nodes, enabling applications to access storage resource in a locality-oblivious manner. Strong Consistency Implements Chain Replication with Apportioned Queries (CRAQ) for strong consistency, making application code simple and easy to reason about. File Interfaces Develops stateless metadata services backed by a transactional key-value store (e.g., FoundationDB). The file interface is well known and used everywhere. There is no need to learn a new storage API. Diverse Workloads Data Preparati ... Read full article.
