METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ERASURE CODE DATA PROTECTION WITH EMBEDDED PCIE SWITCH INSIDE FPGA+SSD

摘要

A Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switch with Erasure Coding logic is disclosed. The PCIe switch may include an external connector to enable the PCIe switch to communicate with a processor and at least one connector to enable the PCIe switch to communicate with at least one storage device. The PCIe switch may include a Power Processing Unit (PPU) to handle configuration of the PCIe switch. The Erasure Coding logic may include an Erasure Coding Controller with circuitry to apply an Erasure Coding scheme to data stored on the storage device, and a snooping logic including circuitry to intercept a data transmission received at the PCIe switch and modify the data transmission responsive to the Erasure Coding scheme.
