Result:

• wiki outdated
• lead me to https://github.com/ethersphere/swarm/blob/swarm-network-rewrite/swarm/storage/pyramid.go
• They call it Pyramid Hash / Pyramid Chunker

For us that means it will never ever go into our contracts due to complexity, gas costs and a general misfit for our architecture.
