Traditional approaches to data analysis incur significant=0Adata movement costs, moving data back and forth between the storage system and=0Athe processor. Emerging Active Flash devices enable processing on the flash,=0Awhere the data already resides. An array of such Active Flash devices allows us=0Ato revisit how analysis workflows interact with storage systems. By seamlessly=0Ablending together the flash storage and data analysis, we create an analysis=0Aworkflow-aware storage system, AnalyzeThis. Our guiding principle is that=0Aanalysis-awareness be deeply ingrained in each and every layer of the storage,=0Aelevating data analyses as first-class citizens, and transforming AnalyzeThis=0Ainto a potent analytics-aware appliance. We implement the AnalyzeThis storage=0Asystem atop an emulation platform of the Active Flash array. Our results=0Aindicate that AnalyzeThis is viable, expediting workflow execution and=0Aminimizing data movement.
