  • Patent number: 9652416
    Abstract: A storage device performs in-storage computing operation, and includes a non-volatile memory configured to store data and a controller. The controller may include an on-chip memory and may control an operation of the non-volatile memory. The controller receives a data processing code generated by a host, overlays the data processing code on the on-chip memory, processes first data corresponding to the data processing code among the data stored in the non-volatile memory, and transmits the processed first data to the host.
