## Useful for

- Deploy a shared storage layer for an LLM training cluster
- Speed up dataset and checkpoint loading in distributed training
- Use as KVCache for inference instead of DRAM

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 10:42–12:56: 10347 → 10349 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #7, +17 stars.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @zhuzilin (2,230 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1,123
- Issues and pull requests: 432
- Watchers: 93
- Average over the last week: 10 per day
- Usual pace: 3 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
