Abstract: A computational storage device includes an interface exchanging a signal with a first external source, a non-volatile memory device, a storage controller, a device memory, and a computation engine. The interface receives an indirect usage request instructing the computation engine to perform a second computation for second input data from a second external source while performing a first computation for first input data acquired from the first external source. The computation engine provides the first input data and first intermediate data generated when performing the first computation to an external computational storage device in response to the indirect usage request, requests the first computation from the external computational storage device, performs the second computation for the second input data loaded from the non-volatile memory device to the device memory, and outputs second result data generated by completing the second computation to the second external source through the interface.

Abstract: In a method of writing data in a storage device, a data write request is received from a host device. Spatial information is received from a spatial sensor included in the storage device based on the data write request. A logical storage area management table is updated based on the data write request and the spatial information such that target data to be stored is written into a target storage area corresponding to the spatial information among a plurality of logical storage areas. A program command and the target data are transmitted to a nonvolatile memory such that the target data is programmed into a physical storage area in the nonvolatile memory corresponding to the target storage area.

Abstract: A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device (NVM) and a storage controller. The NVM includes a first region configured to store user data and a second region not allocated to a user. The storage controller is configured to be connected with a host device through both a first-type bus and a second-type bus different from the first-type bus. The storage controller is configured to receive a first and second request from the host device through the first-type bus. In response to the first request, the storage controller is configured to perform an operation on the NVM. In response to the second request, the storage controller is configured to store first data associated with the storage device in the second region and access the second-type bus to obtain second data of at least one external device obtained by the host device and store the second data in the second region.
