The storage device performs a first background operation for a storage subsystem that is included in the storage device and copies first data from the storage subsystem to a memory subsystem that is accessible to the storage device as part of the performance of the first background operation. If the storage device determines that a first autonomous compute signature matches the first data that was copied to the memory subsystem, it executes a first autonomous compute application to perform first compute operations that are associated with the first data that was copied to the memory subsystem during the performance of the first background operation and generate at least one first compute operation result. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An autonomous compute storage device system, comprising: a computing device;
