DeepSeek Develops Linux File-System For Better AI Training & Inference Performance

([Linux Storage] 3 Hours Ago DeepSeek 3FS)


Chinese AI company DeepSeek made public this week 3FS, a Linux FUSE-based file-system intended for allowing better AI training and inference performance.

The DeepSeek 3FS Fire-Flyer File-System is a distributed file-system designed to leverage modern solid-state drives and RDMA networks for a better AI training and inference experience. 3FS relies on FUSE for user-space based file-system support and aims to make it easier to deploy large-scale AI training/inference clusters with shared storage.

DeepSeek's Fire-Flyer File System has a disaggregated architecture, strong consistency, and other optimizations in the name of AI performance and usability.

Besides leveraging FUSE, this Linux file-system also relies on the Rust programming language, Apple's FoundationDB distributed database, and other modern dependencies.

Those curious about DeepSeek's 3FS open-source file-system can find the code and documentation via [1]GitHub . The 3FS code is available under an MIT license.

A [golf] ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree.
Hitting a tree is simply bad luck and has no place in a scientific game.
The player should estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it
had not hit the tree and play the ball from there, preferably atop a nice
firm tuft of grass.
