What is a computational storage drive? Much-needed help for CPUs

The inevitable slowing of Moore’s Law has pushed the computing industry to undergo a paradigm shift from the traditional CPU-only homogeneous computing to heterogeneous computing. With this change, CPUs are complemented by special-purpose, domain-specific computing fabrics. As we’ve seen over time, this is well reflected by the tremendous growth of hybrid-CPU/GPU computing, significant investment on AI/ML processors, wide deployment of SmartNIC, and more recently, the emergence of computational storage drives.

Not surprisingly, as a new entrant into the computing landscape, the computational storage drive sounds quite unfamiliar to most people and many questions naturally arise. What is a computational storage drive? Where should a computational storage drive be used? What kind of computational function or capability should a computational storage drive provide?
