DEVICE-INITIATED INPUT/OUTPUT ASSISTANCE FOR COMPUTATIONAL NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ON DISK-CACHED AND TIERED SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for controller technology that detects an application function, selects a target storage device from a plurality of storage devices including a first storage device and a second storage device that operates more slowly than the first storage device, and issue the application function to the target storage device. Additionally, storage device technology may identify data that is not present on non-volatile memory (NVM) of the storage device, generate an instruction to retrieve the data, and send the instruction to an external controller.
