With the growth of Containerized applications and Kubernetes as an orchestration layer, the ability to leverage these technologies within the storage device directly adds additional support to the implementation and parallel processing of data. By using an os-based Computational Storage Drive (CSD), a deployment of SPARK will be presented and the steps required to achieve this task. The ability to use a distributed processing operation and orchestrate it with the Host and the CSDs at the same time to maximize the benefits of the application deployment.

In this presentation the Co-Chairs of the Computational Storage Technical Working Group (CS TWG) will provide a status update from the work having been done over the last year, including the release of the new Public Review materials around Architecture and APIs. We will update the status of the definition work and address the growing market and adoption of the technology with contributions from the 47+ member organizations participating in the efforts. We will show use cases, customer case studies, and efforts to continue to drove output from the Technical efforts.

Register to Attend this BoF

Join the SNIA Computational Storage TWG and SIG for a Computational Storage update and discussion of the latest SNIA CS Architecture and Programming Model and API.

With the ongoing work in the CS TWG, the chairs will present the latest updates from the membership of the working group. In addition, the latest release will be reviewed at a high level to provide attendees a view into next steps and implementation of the specification in progress. Use cases, Security considerations, and other key topics with also be addressed.

We will guide the group to discuss the 1.0 specification, what it means for the industry, and where we go from here.

Emerging Deep Learning/ Machine learning and cloud native Applications at data center scale demand terabytes of data flowing across the storage/ memory hierarchy, straining interconnect bandwidth and component capacities. The Industry has responded with a wide range of solutions like process node shrink, higher capacity devices, new tiers, innovative form factors, new interconnect technologies and fabrics, new types of compute architectures, new algorithms and more to creatively leverage storage/memory tiering.

Computational storage is a new paradigm in computing where data processing is moved closer to the storage device to enhance performance and reduce data transfer bottlenecks. In this presentation, we showcase how data integrity checks on CSDs with a software toolkit and a dedicated hardware to process the host payload can significantly improve storage performance and reduce data transfer overhead. This is a cross-industry effort that includes the system, the system software, and the CSD representing a complete end-to-end solution.

In this BOF session, we will explore the need, opportunities, challenges and implications of emerging data compression techniques and accelerators associated with storage and memory technologies through diverse viewpoints of ecosystem participants, including an SOC Architect, technologists in the storage/memory device and controller space.

Join the conversation with Scott Shadley( Solidigm), Mats Oberg (Marvell), Pulkit Jain( AMD) , Angelos Arelakis (ZeroPoint Technologies).
