We're doing just that. We have an index trie datastructure that is optimized for manipulation by an FPGA in an SSD.
Xillinx recently released a product that enables this which it's super awesome and even affordable.

- infogulch 5y agoVery cool! It seems to me that the "disk as a contiguous array of blocks"-paradigm is simply unsuited to SSDs, and ssds have to do a lot of work to support that fiction for the OS and databases in particular. If that's a reasonable assessment, then the next question is: what is a better model/paradigm for cell storage that minimizes bookkeeping overhead?
