Method, device, and computer program product for offloading compression load

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the at least one processor and having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to perform actions comprising:
• determining a compression ratio of a service processor (SP) in a storage system based on raw data and compressed data;
• determining whether the compression ratio of the SP is greater than a predetermined threshold;
• determining, in response to the compression ratio of the SP being greater than the predetermined threshold, a target virtual data migrator (VDM) associated with a compression task from a plurality of VDMs in the SP;
• and
• offloading the target VDM to a data processing unit (DPU) connected to the SP.

A computer program product tangibly stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising machine-executable instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform actions comprising:

• determining a compression ratio of a service processor (SP) in a storage system based on raw data and compressed data;
• determining whether the compression ratio of the SP is greater than a predetermined threshold;
• determining, in response to the compression ratio of the SP being greater than the predetermined threshold, a target virtual data migrator (VDM) associated with a compression task from a plurality of VDMs in the SP;
• and
• offloading the target VDM to a data processing unit (DPU) connected to the SP.
