The storage device identifies a storage operation for a storage subsystem that is included in the storage device and, in response, performs the storage operation and stores data in a memory subsystem that is accessible to the storage device as part of the performance of the storage operation. If the storage device determines that an autonomous compute signature matches the data that was stored in the memory subsystem, it executes an autonomous compute application to perform compute operations that are associated with the data that was stored in the memory subsystem and generate at least one compute operation result. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An autonomous compute storage device system, comprising: a computing device including a computing device chassis housing a host processing system;
