METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ERASURE CODE DATA PROTECTION WITH EMBEDDED PCIE SWITCH INSIDE FPGA+SSD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513610 titled 'METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ERASURE CODE DATA PROTECTION WITH EMBEDDED PCIE SWITCH INSIDE FPGA+SSD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a topology that includes a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid State Drive (SSD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to support functions like data acceleration, data deduplication, data integrity, data encryption, and data compression, and a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switch for communication between the FPGA and the NVMe SSD.

• The topology includes:

 * NVMe SSD
 * FPGA for implementing functions supporting the NVMe SSD
 * PCIe switch for communication between FPGA and NVMe SSD

Original Abstract Submitted

A topology is disclosed. The topology may include at least one Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid State Drive (SSD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to implement one or more functions supporting the NVMe SSD, such as data acceleration, data deduplication, data integrity, data encryption, and data compression, and a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switch. The PCIe switch may communicate with both the FPGA and the NVMe SSD.
