Executing application code based on manner of accessing a hard disk

A method for executing application code based on a manner of accessing a hard disk, wherein the hard disk comprises a processor, a random-access memory (RAM), a data interface, and a hard disk medium that stores data, and wherein the method comprises:

• receiving, by the data interface and from a server, the application code, wherein the application code is related to the data;
• creating, by the processor, an application code process for the application code, wherein the application code process is a dynamic execution of a program and is a unit of allocating and scheduling resources by an operating system;
• loading, by the hard disk, the application code into the RAM;
• and
• executing, by the processor, the application code process to process the data.

A hard disk comprising:

• an interface configured to receive an application code from a server, wherein the application code carries a virtual machine identifier;
• a storage configured to store the application code and data;
• a hard disk medium configured to store the application code and the data;
• and
• a processor coupled to the storage and configured to:
• determine, according to the application code, whether to execute the application code in a virtual environment, wherein the virtual environment is for running the application code;
• and
• execute, in the virtual environment, the application code to process the data in the hard disk medium when the application code is determined to be executed in the virtual environment.

A hard disk comprising:

• a data interface configured to receive an application code from a server;
• a storage for storing the application code;
• a hard disk medium configured to store data;
• and
• a processor coupled to the storage and configured to:
• create an application code process for the application code, wherein the application code process is a dynamic execution of a program and is a unit of allocating and scheduling resources by an operating system;
• load the application code into a random-access memory (RAM);
• and
• execute the application code process to process the data in the hard disk medium.
