Abstract
Today the volume of data generated is constantly increasing. Each year it grows by 27%, reaching 94 Zettabytes in 2021, according to the International Data Group. As this amount increases, the bottleneck due to the transfer of data from where it is stored to where it is processed is increasingly evident. One of the possibilities to overcome this obstacle is Computational Storage, able to modify the old paradigm "Data move to process" in the new "Move process near data". The following work describes the birth of a Computational Storage (Fixed Computational Storage Service), based on the NVMe protocol, built on FPGA, able to lighten the computational weight of the Host by exploiting the peer-to-peer capabilities of PCI-Express.
First of all, the realization of an NVMe Controller is described, based on NVM Express Base Specification version 1.4, capable of managing communication and data transfer between Host and storage device
