Understanding Smallpond and 3FS
Definite: A concise breakdown of what smallpond and 3FS are, how to use them, and if they're suitable for your data processing needs.
It's optimized specifically for AI and HPC workloads, offering extremely high throughput and low latency by using SSDs and RDMA networking technology. Optimized for AI workloads: Delivers consistent, high-speed data access, minimizing bottlenecks common in other storage systems. I experimented with running smallpond with S3 swapped in for 3FS here, but it's unclear what, if any, performance gains you'd get over scaling up a single node for moderate-sized data.
