Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to selective inline compression of data using data processing units (DPUs) of hosts running on the file system prior to storing the data on a remote storage system. To be compressed by the DPUs of the hosts, data should be not already compressed, the data should not subject to frequent read/write cycles off the remote storage system, and the DPU should have sufficient computing resources to compress the data. A file system is connected to the hosts and the remote storage. The file system provides a file heatmap that forecasts whether the data is frequently accessed. The file heatmap is created using machine learning models. After receiving the file heatmap, the host writes the data to the remote storage system and uses the file heatmap to determine if the data should be compressed.
