SELECTIVE COMPRESSION OF OBJECTS IN A STORAGE COMPUTE DEVICE

摘要

Methods and apparatuses facilitate receiving a command via a host interface of a storage compute device to perform a computation on one or more data objects. The computations producing intermediate objects that are stored in data storage section of the storage compute device. A determination is made to compress and decompress the intermediate objects as they are moved between the data storage section and a compute section based on wear of a storage medium being reduced in response to the compression and decompression. The intermediate objects are compressed and decompressed as they are moved between the data storage section and the compute section in response to the determination.

1. A storage compute device comprising:
a data storage section that facilitates persistently storing host data on a storage medium; a compute section that performs computations on data objects, the compute section at least storing intermediate objects in the data storage section; a performance monitor that makes a determination to compress and decompress the intermediate objects as they are moved between the data storage section and the compute section based on wear of the storage medium being reduced in response thereto; and a compression hardware section that compresses and decompresses the intermediate objects as they are moved between the data storage section and the compute section in response to the determination.
