Computational Storage: Where Are We Today?
Summary: Commercial computational storage devices (CSDs)—storage media with on‑board CPUs/FPGAs—enable data‑local execution to boost performance and energy efficiency. The paper argues current CSDs lack heterogeneous resource management, multi‑tenancy/security, data consistency and usable HW/SW interfaces and maps open research and programming‑model remedies.
