Interfaces in Near Data Computing - Simplifying SNIA API for Compute Storage Devices

Interfaces in Near Data Computing - Simplifying SNIA API for Compute Storage Devices

Learn about the FTI API, a simplified interface for compute storage devices, in this 17-minute technical talk from AMD's Sr Director of Architecture at Open Compute Project. Explore how this new API streamlines the complex SNIA API, drawing parallels with OpenCL for accelerator platforms. Discover the API's approach to encapsulating SNIA functionalities for specific use cases like H.264 video encoding, while maintaining flexibility through customizable parameters via JSON formatting. Understand the relationship between host parsing, SNIA CS API conversion, and the ongoing development of this interface for near data computing applications.
