Abstract: A method of facilitating communication to an embedded computer in a computational storage device via a host includes receiving a message for transmission to an embedded process running at the embedded computer, determining that a destination address of the message corresponds to the embedded computer within the computational storage device, in response to the determination, forwarding the message to a host relay process associated with the embedded computer, and encapsulating the message to generate a proprietary command for transmission to the computational storage device.

Abstract: A method of computational storage device intercommunication includes receiving a notification from a first storage controller of a first computational storage device indicating a presence of a message, in response to receiving the notification, transmitting a send message request to the first storage controller of the first computational storage device, and receiving the message from the first storage controller, storing the message to a host memory and notifying a host pseudo network device driver of availability of the message, determining whether a destination address of the message corresponds to a host user process that is local to the host or to a second user process that is local to a second embedded computer of a second computational storage device, and providing the message to the host user process or to the second embedded computer associated with the destination address.

Abstract: A storage device. In some embodiments, the storage device includes a storage interface, configured to be connected to a host computer, a processing circuit, and persistent storage media. The processing circuit may be configured to: read first data from the persistent storage media in response to a read command received through the storage interface; transmit second data through the storage interface, the second data being based on the first data; receive a write command, with third data, through the storage interface; write fourth data, based on the third data, to the persistent storage media; and perform a cryptographic operation on the first data or on the third data.
