Abstract
Example storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide peer configuration of hardware compute resources among peer storage devices. Data storage devices may include hardware circuits, such as graphics processor units, media processor circuits, compute accelerator circuits, and neural processing units, configured for compute operations targeting host data associated with that storage device. One of the storage devices is configured to act as a master storage device for determining firmware configurations for the other storage devices and sending an indication of the firmware image to be used for some operating period. The storage device receiving the firmware image loads the firmware image for the hardware circuit and reboots the hardware circuit to configure it with the firmware image.
