The drive towards computational storage
Summary
Xilinx’s fourth-quarter 2021 filing shows that annual revenue growth is being driven by adoption among its hyperscale customers across compute, networking and storage workloads. In February 2020, NGD Systems announced a $20m Series C funding round to support and accelerate the production and deployment of what it claims is the world’s first NVMe (non-volatile memory express) computational storage drive. With power, not space, being our greatest constraint, and environmental impact a growing concern, this technology holds great promise for use in next-generation datacentre environments.” Computational storage is not only limited to adding smart functionality directly to an SSD. A recent example from Amazon Web Services (AWS) illustrates how data processing can be moved closer to where it is stored to gain efficiency. This work can be automatically triggered by an AWS Lambda execution after a new CSV [comma separated value] object is uploaded to S3 with S3 Event Notifications.
