Methods and systems for performing a hardware acceleration process that includes a hardware offloading engine. The hardware offloading engine includes an interface for communicating with a host device and a hardware accelerator for performing the acceleration process. The hardware accelerator has a processor configured to: receive from the interface a hardware offloading command from the host device, the hardware offloading command including an operation code, an input pointer, a total input size, and a first input size, parse the operation code, the input pointer, the total input size, and the first input size from the hardware offloading command, retrieve input data based on the input pointer and the total input size, separate the input data into a first data stream and a second data stream based on the first input size, and execute an offloaded operation on the first data stream and the second data stream.

Method and system for acceleration or offloading utilizing a multiple input data stream

Methods, systems, and devices for performing an acceleration process by offloading an operation. The system includes a hardware offloading engine that includes a hardware accelerator for performing the acceleration process. The hardware accelerator has a processor configured to receive a hardware offloading command, the hardware offloading command including an operation code, an input pointer, and an output pointer, in which at least one of the input pointer or the output pointer includes a unified data pointer that includes one or more bits of memory for identifying the source location for the input data or the destination location of the output data, parse the operation code, the input pointer, and the output pointer from the hardware offloading command, retrieve the input data based on the input pointer, and execute an offloaded operation on the input data based on the operation code.

Method and system for acceleration or offloading utilizing a unified data pointer

A method for accessing blocks of a solid state drive is described. A starting position is received, where the starting position identifies a first block of a contiguous block region within a namespace of the solid state drive. The contiguous block region is to be accessed according to a single input/output operation and the namespace comprises two dimensions of logical address space with respective indices for indexing blocks within a corresponding dimension of the logical address space. A first dimensional identifier that identifies a size of the contiguous block region in a first dimension of the namespace is received. A second dimensional identifier that identifies a size of the contiguous block region in a second dimension of the namespace is received. Blocks of the contiguous block region are accessed in response to the single input/output operation according to the starting position, the first dimensional identifier, and the second dimensional identifier.
