Abstract:
Example storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide sharing of data function processing using a memory buffer to coordinate between peer storage devices. A peer storage device acts as master to determine a plurality of compute tasks associated with a host function, determine peer storage devices and assign them compute tasks, and store the task compute configuration for each compute task in the buffer memory for access by the peer storage devices. Results of the peer compute tasks may be returned to the host.
