Computational Storage Use Cases

The goal of computational storage is to enable parallel computation and/or alleviate constraints on existing compute, memory, storage, and I/O. 

The SNIA Computational Storage Special Interest Group has gathered examples of computational storage use cases which demonstrate improvements in application performance and infrastructure efficiency through the integration of compute resources either directly with storage or between the host and the storage.

We invite you to review the videos in the SNIA Computational Storage Demo Series and bookmark the page as we add more use cases presented by our member companies. Contact us at cmsi@snia.org with your questions and comments.
