Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD

Would companies be willing to contribute to the OpenSSD project? OCP (Open Compute Project) has shown that customer-operators can cooperate on open hardware designs, successfully influencing enterprise hardware supply chains. Commercial DPUs and SmartNICs were preceded by a decade of open hardware and research by the NetFPGA project (https://netfpga.org). Why not DiskFPGA? 2017 OpenSSD overview, based on Xilinx: https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD/blob/m... 2022 status, http://www.openssd-project.org/ > OpenSSD platforms are still being actively used in many academic institutions. As of June 2022, we have renewed the homepage hoping that this site will be a forum to share various simulators, tools, traces, etc. not only for the conventional SSDs but also for the upcoming storage devices such as KVSSD, ZNS SSD, and Compu

Their 2017 PDF presentation has good info re: their current state: https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD/blob/m... Page 10 shows the 3 generations of OpenSSD they've been developing. They're on the 3rd gen now (marked 2016), which is FPGA based, says it support a subset of NVMe, and mentions a 2TB max capacity. Might be interesting to actually do stuff with. :)

Yep, that newer repo has a presentation in the doc folder detailing 3 generations of the hardware for research use, they moved to FPGA later: https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD/blob/m...

last commit 5 years ago: https://github.com/openssd/openssd yes, looks dead Edit: seems like they went from openssd-project.org to openssd.io in 2017, so the github project is the old one. Not sure if there is any new one. Maybe https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD ?
