Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a block device interface, an instruction to write data, the instruction comprising a memory location of the data; copying the data to pinned memory; performing, by a vector processor, one or more invertible transforms on the data; and writing the data from the pinned memory to one or more storage devices asynchronously. The pinned memory of the data corresponds to a location in pinned memory, the pinned memory being accessible by the vector processor and one or more other processors.
