NVMe Computational Storage – An update on the Standard

Tue Sep 13 | 2:00pm
Location:
Salon IV
Abstract

Learn what is happening in NVMe to support Computational Storage devices. The development is ongoing and not finalized, but this presentation will describe the directions that the proposal is taking. Kim will describe the high level architecture that is being defined in NVMe for Computational Storage. We will describe how this new command set fits within the NVMe I/O Command Set architecture. The commands that are necessary for Computational Storage will be described. We will discuss a proposed new memory model that is able to be used for computational programs.

Learning Objectives

  • Updates to the NVMe Standard to support Computational Storage
  • How to use NVMe-based Computational Storage Devices
