摘要:
Abstract: —Cloud computing and big data applications require data storage systems that deliver high performance reliably and securely. The central piece, the brain, of a storage system is the central controller that manages the storage. However, all existing storage controllers have their limitations. As the data become larger, more storage technologies emerge, and applications spread wider, the existing controllers cannot keep pace with the rapid growth of big data. We introduce and are currently building a storage controller with built in intelligence, referred to as DPU for Data-storage Processing Unit, to manage, control, analyze, and classify big data at the place where they are stored. The idea is to place sufficient intelligence closest to the storage devices that are experiencing revolutionary changes with the emergence of storage class memories such as flash, PCM, MRAM, Memristor and so forth. Machine learning logics are a major part of DPU that learns I/O behaviors inside the storage to optimize performance, reliability, and availability. Advanced security techniques are implemented inside a storage device. Deep learning techniques train and analyze big data inside a storage device and reinforcement learning optimizes storage hierarchy. Parallel and pipelining techniques are utilized to process stored data exploiting the inherent parallelism inside SSD. Our preliminary experimental data showed promising results that could potentially change the landscape of storage market.
