Computing system with distributed compute-enabled storage group and method of operation thereof

Abstract

A computing system includes: a storage device configured to perform in-storage processing with formatted data based on application data from an application; and return an in-storage processing output to the application for continued execution.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computing system comprising:
 a storage device configured to:
 perform in-storage processing with formatted data based on application data from an application; and 
 return an in-storage processing output to the application for continued execution. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to receive a sub-application request based on an application request from the application for performing in-storage processing. 
     
     
         3 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to generate an aggregated output from in-storage processing outputs from one or more other storage devices and return the aggregated output to the application for continued execution. 
     
     
         4 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to issue a device request based on an application request from the application to at least one of other storage devices. 
     
     
         5 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein:
 the storage device is further configured to:
 issue a device request; 
 
 
       further comprising:
 another storage device configured to:
 receive the device request, 
 generate another device request; and 
 
 yet another storage device configured to receive the another device request. 
 
     
     
         6 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a storage group including the storage device, configured to send in-storage processing outputs to be aggregated and sent to the application. 
     
     
         7 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to aggregate an in-storage processing output as a partial aggregated output to be returned to the application. 
     
     
         8 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to generate the formatted data from the application data. 
     
     
         9 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to generate a formatted unit of the formatted data with an application unit of the application data and a data pad. 
     
     
         10 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the storage device is further configured to generate a formatted unit of the formatted data with non-aligned instances of application units of the application data and a data pad. 
     
     
         11 . A method of operation of a computing system comprising:
 performing in-storage processing with a storage device with formatted data based on application data from an application; and   returning an in-storage processing output from the storage device to the application for continued execution.   
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising receiving a sub-application request at the storage device based on an application request from the application for performing in-storage processing. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising sorting in-storage processing outputs from a storage group including the storage device. 
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising issuing a device request based on an application request from the application to a storage group including the storage device. 
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising:
 issuing a device request from the storage device; 
 receiving the device request at another storage device; 
 generating another device request by the another storage device; and 
 receiving the another device request by yet another storage device. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising sending in-storage processing outputs by a storage group include the storage device to be aggregated and sent to the application. 
     
     
         17 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising aggregating an in-storage processing output as a partial aggregated output to be returned to the application. 
     
     
         18 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising generating the formatted data based on the application data. 
     
     
         19 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising generating a formatted unit of the formatted data with an application unit of the application data and a data pad. 
     
     
         20 . The method as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising generating a formatted unit of the formatted data with non-aligned instances of application units of the application data and a data pad.
