METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING A FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY (FPGA) BASED ADD-IN-CARD (AIC) SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075319 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING A FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY (FPGA) BASED ADD-IN-CARD (AIC) SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD)

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a solid state drive (SSD), at least one field programmable gate array (FPGA), and at least one front end connector. The device is designed to process data stored in the SSD based on a command received via the front end connector.

  • The device includes a PCB, which serves as the main platform for connecting various components.
  • A solid state drive (SSD) is connected to the PCB via at least one SSD connector, allowing for data storage.
  • At least one field programmable gate array (FPGA) is attached to the PCB, providing programmable logic capabilities.
  • At least one front end connector is also attached to the PCB, enabling communication and command input to the device.
  • The device is configured to process data stored in the SSD based on commands received through the front end connector.

Potential Applications

  • Data processing and analysis systems
  • High-performance computing applications
  • Embedded systems requiring fast data access and processing

Problems Solved

  • Efficient processing of data stored in a solid state drive
  • Integration of field programmable gate arrays for flexible and customizable logic operations
  • Simplified communication and command input through front end connectors

Benefits
