Abstract

A computing system includes: a gateway block configured to generate a modified operation for communicating a request operation issued by a host device to access a storage device; and wherein the gateway block includes: a conversion block configured to generate a converted interface for converting an interaction interface included in the request operation to the interaction interface executable by the storage device, and a translation block, coupled to the conversion block, configured to generate a translated representation for translating an object representation included in the request operation to the object representation utilized in the storage device.

Claims

1. A computing system comprising:

a gateway block configured to generate a modified operation for communicating a request operation issued by a host device to access a storage device; and

wherein the gateway block includes;

a conversion block configured to generate a converted interface for converting an interaction interface included in the request operation to the interaction interface executable by the storage device, and

a translation block, coupled to the conversion block, configured to generate a translated representation for translating an object representation included in the request operation to the object representation utilized in the storage device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the conversion block is configured to generate the converted interface for converting a language interface of the request operation from the host device into the language interface executable by the storage device.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the conversion block is configured to generate the converted interface for converting a communication protocol utilized for the request operation from the host device into the communication protocol communicable with the storage device.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the gateway block is configured to receive an operation result for communicating the operation result generated based on executing the modified operation by an application deployed within the storage device.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a data node block including the gateway block configured to generate the modified operation for communicating the request operation issued by the host device to access the storage device.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising the storage block including the gateway block configured to receive the request operation issued by the host device to access the storage device.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the conversion block is configured to check a communication protocol for converting the request operation from the host device to a command used in the storage device.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the translation block is configured to check the object representation to convert the translated representation for mapping the object representation of a data node block to the object representation of the storage device.

9. A method of operation of a computing system comprising:

generating a converted interface with a gateway block for converting an interaction interface included in a request operation to the interaction interface executable by a storage device;

generating a translated representation for translating an object representation included in the request operation to the object representation utilized in the storage device; and

generating a modified operation including the converted interface, the translated representation, or a combination thereof for communicating the request operation issued by a host device to access the storage device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the converted interface includes generating the converted interface for converting a language interface of the request operation from the host device into the language interface executable by the storage device.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the converted interface includes generating the converted interface for converting a communication protocol utilized for the request operation from the host device into the communication protocol communicable with the storage device.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising sending an operation result for communicating the operation result generated based on executing the modified operation by an application deployed within the storage device.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising checking a communication protocol for converting the request operation from the host device to a command used in the storage device.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising checking the object representation to convert the translated representation for mapping the object representation of a data node block to the object representation of the storage device.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution by a gateway block comprising:

generating a converted interface for converting an interaction interface included in a request operation to the interaction interface executable by a storage device;

generating a translated representation for translating an object representation included in the request operation to the object representation utilized in the storage device; and

generating a modified operation including the converted interface, the translated representation, or a combination thereof for communicating the request operation issued by a host device to access the storage device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein generating the converted interface includes generating the converted interface for converting a language interface of the request operation from the host device into the language interface executable by the storage device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein generating the converted interface includes generating the converted interface for converting a communication protocol utilized for the request operation from the host device into the communication protocol communicable with the storage device.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising sending an operation result for communicating the operation result generated based on executing the modified operation by an application deployed within the storage device.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising checking a communication protocol for converting the request operation from the host device to a command used in the storage device.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising checking the object representation to convert the translated representation for mapping the object representation of a data node block to the object representation of the storage device.
