MaxLinear (MXL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory said Wednesday they have jointly developed a hardware-accelerated OpenZFS file system for high-performance computing environments.

The collaboration integrates MaxLinear's Panther Storage Accelerators with LANL's Direct I/O and ZFS Interface for Accelerators framework to offload compute-intensive tasks such as compression and checksum generation, according to a statement.

The approach aims to improve throughput, scalability, and efficiency in NVMe storage systems while preserving ZFS data integrity guarantees, they added.
