Computational Storage

Updated August 2021

Today, Computational Storage is transforming enterprises worldwide. The SNIA Computational Storage Technical Work Group (TWG) is actively working on establishing hardware and software architectures to allow for compute to be more tightly coupled with storage at the system and drive level. In addition, the SNIA Compute, Memory, and Storage Initiative (CMSI) is focused on fostering the acceptance and growth of computational storage in the marketplace with the activities of the Computational Storage Special Interest Group. To achieve those goals, the CMSI provides education, performs market outreach, and influences and promotes standards.

From the 2021 Storage Developer Conference EMEA, SNIA Computational Storage SIG Chair Eli Tiomkin presents an overview of Computational Storage, including SNIA''s latest technical work: SNIA Computational Storage Architectural and Programming Model v0.8 rev 0, now out for public review.
