[Computer System]
Architectures that provide Computational Storage Functions (CSF) coupled to storage, offloading host processing or reducing data movement.
These architectures enable improvements in application performance and/or infrastructure efficiency through the integration of compute resources (outside of the traditional compute & memory architecture) either directly with storage or between the host and the storage. The goal of these architectures is to enable parallel computation and/or to alleviate constraints on existing compute, memory, storage, and I/O.
[Computer System]
A collection of Computational Storage Devices, control software, and optional storage devices.
[Computer System]
A Computational Storage Drive, Computational Storage Processor, or Computational Storage Array.
[Computer System]
A storage element that contains one or more Computational Storage Engines (CSE) and persistent data storage.
[Computer System]
A Component that is able to execute one or more Computational Storage Functions (CSF)
[Computer System]
Specific operations that may be configured and executed by a Computational Storage Engine (CSE)
[Computer System]
A component that contains one or more Computational Storage Engines (CSE) for an associated storage system without providing persistent data storage.
[Computer System]
Resource available for a host to provision a Computational Storage Device (CSx) that enables that CSx to be programmed to perform a Computational Storage Function (CSF)
