Abstract
A storage node such as a storage array or storage server has storage controllers with heterogeneous parallel processors. The CPUs may be used to perform read and write operations. GPUs are used to produce transformed data from raw data. The GPUs may be used to perform various analytic calculations. The GPUs may be interconnected via dedicated communication links.
