Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system may include a processor running an application program and a memory storing data being used by the application program. An upstream interface enables communication with the processor; a downstream interface enables communication with a storage device. The system may also include an acceleration module implemented using hardware and including an Acceleration Platform Manager (APM-F) to execute an acceleration instruction. The storage device may include an endpoint of the storage device for communicating with the acceleration module, a controller to manage operations of the storage device, storage for application data for the application program, and a storage device Acceleration Platform Manager (APM-S) to assist the APM-F in executing the acceleration instruction. The processor, the acceleration module, and the storage device may communicate via a Peripheral Component Interconnect Exchange (PCIe) bus. The acceleration module may support performing the acceleration instruction on the application data on the storage device for the application program without loading the application data into the memory.

Abstract: A method includes: preconditioning a reference solid-state drive (SSD) to a steady state by writing to physical media of the reference SSD; transferring metadata of the reference SSD to an application; storing the metadata of the reference SSD in a persistent storage; normalizing the metadata of the reference SSD to a target SSD; and applying the normalized metadata to the target SSD to precondition the target SSD to the steady state.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include solid state drive (SSD) multi-card adapters that can include multiple solid state drive cards, which can be incorporated into existing enterprise servers without major architectural changes, thereby enabling the server industry ecosystem to easily integrate evolving solid state drive technologies into servers. The SSD multi-card adapters can include an interface section between various solid state drive cards and drive connector types. The interface section can perform protocol translation, packet switching and routing, data encryption, data compression, management information aggregation, virtualization, and other functions.
