Active Storage For Large-Scale Data Mining and Multimedia

Summary: Active Disks moves compute to disks, reducing data traffic and exploiting storage parallelism for DB, data mining and multimedia workloads. Model and prototype show 2x speedups on 10 disks for scans, with linear scaling for hundreds of disks on large data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
