Performance of file system operations

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising computer-readable instructions that upon execution by the at least one processor cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
• copying dirty memory pages from a file system into a memory associated with a first hardware accelerator associated with a host;
• compressing content of the memory pages by one or more cores of the first hardware accelerator;
• compacting compressed data into a payload area of at least one log;
• preparing metadata of the at least one log by the one or more cores of the first hardware accelerator;
• flushing the at least one log into a storage device;
• wherein the operations further comprise:
• identifying a location of the at least one log using a mapping table by the first hardware accelerator in response to a request of reading data in the at least one log from at least one physical sector;
• accessing the at least one log by the first hardware accelerator based on the identified location;
• parsing the at least one log and executing decompression operations by the first hardware accelerator to retrieve the requested data;
• and
• delivering the requested data to a page cache of the file system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-readable instructions that upon execution by a processor cause the processor to implement operations, the operations comprising:

• copying dirty memory pages from a file system into a memory associated with a first hardware accelerator associated with a host;
• compressing content of the memory pages by one or more cores of the first hardware accelerator;
• compacting compressed data into a payload area of at least one log;
• preparing metadata of the at least one log by the one or more cores of the first hardware accelerator;
• flushing the at least one log into a storage device;
• wherein the operations further comprise:
• identifying a location of the at least one log using a mapping table by the first hardware accelerator in response to a request of reading data in the at least one log from at least one physical sector;
• accessing the at least one log by the first hardware accelerator based on the identified location;
• parsing the at least one log and executing decompression operations by the first hardware accelerator to retrieve the requested data;
• and
• delivering the requested data to a page cache of the file system.
