The SNIA Computational Storage TWG is driving forward with both a CS Architecture specification and a CS API specification. How will these specification affect the growing industry Computational Storage efforts? Learn what is happening in industry organizations to make Computational storage something that you can buy from a number of vendors to move your computation to where your data resides. Hear what is being developed in different organizations to make your data processing faster and allow for scale-out storage solutions to multiply your compute power.

Learn what is happening in NVMe to support Computational Storage devices. Computational Storage requires two new command sets: The Computational Programs Command Set and the Subsystem Local Memory Command Set. We will introduce you to how these two command sets work together, the details of each command set, and how they fit within the NVMe I/O Command Set architecture.

Computational Storage standards are under active development at both SNIA and NVMe. The CS TWG in SNIA continues to work on enhancements to the Architecture and Programming Model after the successful release of the 1.0 revision of the standard in August 2022. The CS TWG also continues to refine the CS API, which was released for public review in July 2022, to ensure alignment and compatibility with NVMe. Many of the same companies are engaged with the SNIA CS work and the NVMe CS work and strive to ensure compatibility and cohesion between the SNIA and NVMe CS standards.

We will discuss the new flexible data placement: What are the benefits and what is required to take advantage of it.
