Systems, methods, and devices for attachable compute resources for storage devices

Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses for managing memory. The method can include: establishing a connection via an interface, between a host device and a storage device; and transferring data, via the interface, between first memory associated with the host device and second memory associated with the storage device by performing a data operation on the second memory by an application executed by the host, where the storage device includes a processing element that accelerates the data operation by performing at least one offload function on the data operation.

Systems and methods for data transfer for computational storage devices

Systems and methods for processing storage transactions are disclosed. A transaction between a storage device and a host computing device is identified. The storage device determines that the transaction satisfies a criterion, and inserts data into a packet associated with the transaction. The data may be for identifying a memory subsystem of the host computing device. The storage device transmits the packet, including the data, to the host computing device for storing the packet in the memory subsystem based on the data.

Systems and methods for processing storage transactions

A chassis is disclosed. The chassis may include a processor, a switch, and at least one storage device in communication with a remote processor. The storage device may support an active power mode and a low power mode.
