Why offload it to the host? If the CPU on the NVMe card is well documented then run the flash software on that.
The same goes for network offload features in ethernet controllers, make it an open architecture that you can write your own firmware for.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThe host CPU is faster, which lowers access latency, and modern machines have large numbers of generally idle cores. It also reduces the cost of the drive. Meanwhile you could also have drives with offload engines, in the same way that some network cards have offload engines and some don't. But the ones that do are more expensive.
