SaS: SSD as SQL Database System

Summary: SaS places a full SQL engine inside the SSD, replacing the host’s IHDE and costly I/O stack. By making the SSD a database server, it enables vertical engine–flash co-optimization, especially for disaggregated and virtualized data centers. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
