Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a compute offload controller that may include a parser to parse a received compute offload command, and identify a block-based compute descriptor based at least in part on the compute offload command. In some embodiments, the compute offload controller may further include an offload executor to perform an operation on data in a block-based storage device based at least in part on the block-based compute descriptor. In some embodiments, the block-based compute descriptor may include a virtual input object, a virtual output object, and a compute type identifier. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
