SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING NATIVE CLIENT CODE IN A STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for executing user-provided code securely on a solid state drive (SSD) to perform data processing on the SSD. In one embodiment, a user uses a security-oriented cross-compiler to compile user-provided source code for a data processing task on a host computer containing, or otherwise connected to, an SSD. The resulting binary is combined with lists of input and output file identifiers and sent to the SSD. A central processing unit (CPU) on the SSD extracts the binary and the lists of file identifiers. The CPU obtains from the host file system the addresses of storage areas in the SSD containing the data in the input files, reads the input data, executes the binary using a container, and writes the results of the data processing task back to the SSD, in areas corresponding to the output file identifiers.

1. A storage device comprising:
storage media; a device-side storage interface; a first processing unit; and a program memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to: instantiate a device data processing agent and a container, the device data processing agent being configured to:
receive a first manifest comprising a first binary comprising first instructions, andtransfer the first binary to the container.
