Abstract
Systems and methods for offloading processing from a host to one or more storage processing units using an interconnect network are provided. One such system includes a host having a processing task, a plurality of storage processing units (SPUs), a host interface configured to enable communications between the host and each of the plurality of SPUs, and an interconnection network coupled to at least two of the plurality of SPUs, where the host is configured to command at least one of the plurality of SPUs to perform the processing task, and command the interconnection network to couple two or more of the plurality of SPUs.
