Computational Storage with SSD

[liubiyongge]

I want to simulate a computational storage with ssd, can you give me some advice?

Good question!

There are different flavors of computational storage. Depending on your target workload or research you want to do, the simulation method might vary. A simple way to emulate a "computational" unit in FEMU is to reserve one or more host CPU cores and dedicate them to the offloaded logic which you would like to run in/near the storage (here, FEMU). The simulation model can be more accurate by running the above cores at lower rate (computational processors are usually slower than x86).
