The SNIA Computational Storage Special Interest Group (SIG), a part of CMSI carrying on SNIA’s technical activities on computational storage. The third example is a computational storage array where the compute unit is connected to the storage and the CPU goes through the computational storage compute unit to access the storage. Computational Storage Examples Image from 2021 SNIA Persistent Memory and Computational Storage SummitComputational storage involves computational storage devices (CSxes), computational storage resources (CSRs), computation storage engines (CSEs), computational storage engine environments (CSEE’s) and computational storage functions (CSFs). The computational storage can also contain a storage controller for a computational storage device or an array controller for a computational storage array. The computational storage processor now only refers to a device that contains a computational storage engine and no storage.
