This upgrade brings
- Complete rewrite of DEFLATE optimizations resulting in 5X better
throughput and compression ratios comapred to zlib, lz4, lzo and 2X
better decompression performance when compared to zlib.
- AVX512 improvements to multi-buffer versions of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256
cryptographic hashing functions resulting in 3X better in performance
compared to the AVX2 generation.
This update improves bluestore compression and potential to improve
dedup performance.
Testing this patch with objectstore fio yeided a max of 37% increase in
compression performance.
