Abstract
Methods and apparatuses facilitate receiving a command via a host interface of a storage compute device to perform a computation on one or more data objects. The computations producing intermediate objects that are stored in data storage section of the storage compute device. A determination is made to compress and decompress the intermediate objects as they are moved between the data storage section and a compute section based on wear of a storage medium being reduced in response to the compression and decompression. The intermediate objects are compressed and decompressed as they are moved between the data storage section and the compute section in response to the determination.
