XRP: Using eBPF to Accelerate Storage Functions![]() With the rise of single-digit microsecond latency storage devices, the software of the OS storage stack is becoming the primary bottleneck when accessing fast storage devices. We are designing a new framework, XRP (eXpress Resubmission Path), that uses allows storage applications to bypass the OS storage stack when submitting storage requests. XRP can lead to ~2X better latency and 2-3X better throughput for common operations, like index lookups and aggregations.
