Abstract
Solid State Drive (SSD) devices with hardware accelerators and methods for apportioning storage resources in the SSD are disclosed. SSDs typically comprise an array of non-volatile memory devices and a controller which manages access to the memory devices. The controller may also comprise one or more accelerators to either improve the performance of the SSD itself or to offload specialized computation workloads of a host-computing device. Different accelerators may be dynamically assigned portions of the non-volatile memory array according to the type of data being accessed and/or the throughput required. Provision is also made for the data to be accessed directly by the accelerators bypassing the controller and for a hinting mechanism to improve accelerator performance.
