Method of allocating and protecting memory in computational storage device and computational storage device performing the same

Abstract

A computational storage device includes an interface exchanging a signal with a first external source, a non-volatile memory device, a storage controller, a device memory, and a computation engine. The interface receives an indirect usage request instructing the computation engine to perform a second computation for second input data from a second external source while performing a first computation for first input data acquired from the first external source. The computation engine provides the first input data and first intermediate data generated when performing the first computation to an external computational storage device in response to the indirect usage request, requests the first computation from the external computational storage device, performs the second computation for the second input data loaded from the non-volatile memory device to the device memory, and outputs second result data generated by completing the second computation to the second external source through the interface.
