Efficient data movement method for in storage computation

Abstract

A Solid State Drive (SSD) is disclosed. The SSD may include flash memory storage to store data, a volatile memory storage, and a host interface layer to receive requests from a host machine. An SSD controller may manage reading data from and writing data to the flash memory storage, with a flash translation layer to translate between Logical Block Addresses and Physical Block Addresses, a flash memory controller to access the flash memory storage, a volatile memory controller to access the volatile memory storage, and an orchestrator to send instructions to a Data Movement Interconnect (DMI). The DMI may include at least two kernels, a Buffer Manager, a plurality of ring agents associated with the kernels and the Buffer Manager to handle messaging, a Data Movement Manager (DMM) to manage data movement, at least two data rings to move data between the ring agents, and a control ring to share commands and acknowledgments between the ring agents and the DMM.
