US 11,687,276 B2 · Data streaming for computational storage

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for streaming arbitrarily large amounts of data through computational storage programs of a computational storage device. A computational storage device comprises a storage media, a computational storage processor, and a controller. A firmware of the controller comprises a plurality of streaming drivers, each associated with a data source or data destination of the storage device. The firmware further comprises a buffer abstraction layer operable to read data from a data source through an associated ingress streaming driver of the plurality of streaming drivers to provide a source data stream for a computational storage program executing on the computational storage processor. The buffer abstraction layer is further operable to receive a destination data stream from the computational storage program and write data to a data destination through an associated egress streaming driver of the plurality of streaming drivers.

A storage device comprising:

a storage media;
a computational storage processor;
and
a controller operably coupled to the storage media and the computational storage processor and comprising a firmware, the firmware comprising
a plurality of streaming drivers, each of the plurality of streaming drivers associated with a data source or data destination of the storage device, and
a buffer abstraction layer operable to read source data from a first streaming driver of the plurality of streaming drivers and provide a source data stream for a computational storage program executing on the computational storage processor and to receive a destination data stream from the computational storage program and write destination data to a second streaming driver of the plurality of streaming drivers, the buffer abstraction layer further operable to pause execution of the computational storage program upon detecting that no data is available for reading by the first streaming driver from the associated data source.
