Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A computing system comprising:

a storage device, coupled to a central processing unit, configured to generate an aggregated output from in-storage processing outputs from one or more other storage devices and return the aggregated output to an application including:

an in-storage processing engine configured to receive and manage application data from the application executed in a host computer,

an in-storage processing coordinator, in the in-storage processing engine, configured to perform in-storage processing with formatted data, based on the application data, including performing integer math operations, floating point math operations, Boolean operations, reorganization of data bits or symbols, and combinations thereof on the application data, and

a data preprocessor, in the in-storage processing coordinator, configured to align the formatted data from the application data to return an in-storage processing output to the application for continued execution.

2. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to receive a sub-application request based on splitting of an application request from the application for performing in-storage processing.

3. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to issue a device request, based on an application request from the application, to at least one of the other storage devices.

4. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the storage device is further configured to:

issue a device request;

further comprising:

another storage device configured to:

receive the device request,

generate another device request; and

yet another storage device configured to receive the another device request.

5. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a storage group including the storage device, configured to send in-storage processing outputs to be aggregated and sent to the application.

6. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to aggregate an in-storage processing output as a partial aggregated output to be returned to the application.

7. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to generate the formatted data from the application data.

8. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to generate a formatted unit of the formatted data with an application unit of the application data.

9. The computing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage device is further configured to generate a formatted unit of the formatted data with non-aligned instances of application units of the application data, wherein the non-aligned instances of the application units traverse multiple instances of the formatted unit.

10. A method of operation of a computing system comprising:

receiving and managing application data from an application, executed by a host computer, by an in-storage processing engine;

generating an aggregated output from in-storage processing outputs from one or more other storage devices and return the aggregated output to the application;

performing in-storage processing with formatted data, based on the application data, including performing integer math operations, floating point math operations, Boolean operations, reorganization of data bits or symbols, and combinations thereof on the application data by an in-storage processing coordinator; and

aligning the formatted data from the application data to return an in-storage processing output to the application, by a data preprocessor, for continued execution.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising receiving a sub-application request at the storage device based on splitting of an application request from the application for performing in-storage processing.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising sorting in-storage processing outputs from a storage group including the storage device.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising issuing a device request based on an application request from the application to a storage group including the storage device.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

issuing a device request from the storage device;

receiving the device request at another storage device;

generating another device request by the another storage device; and

receiving the another device request by yet another storage device.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising sending in-storage processing outputs by a storage group including the storage device to be aggregated and sent to the application.

16. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising aggregating an in-storage processing output as a partial aggregated output to be returned to the application.

17. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising generating the formatted data based on the application data.

18. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising generating a formatted unit of the formatted data with an application unit of the application data.

19. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising generating a formatted unit of the formatted data with non-aligned instances of application units of the application data, wherein the non-aligned instances of the application units traverse multiple instances of the formatted unit.
