Containerized In-Storage Processing and Computing-Enabled SSD Disaggregation
Abstract
ISP minimizes data transfer for analytics but faces challenges in adaptation and disaggregation. We propose DockerSSD, an ISP model leveraging OS-level virtualization and lightweight firmware to enable containerized data processing directly on SSDs. Key features include Ethernet over NVMe for network-based ISP management and Virtual Firmware for secure, efficient container execution. DockerSSD supports disaggregated storage pools, reducing host overhead and enhancing large-scale services like LLM inference. It achieves up to 2.0x better performance for I/O-intensive workloads, and 7.9x improvement in distributed LLM inference.
