Storagethan
Storagethan is a theoretical concept in computer science that explores the potential for a storage medium to possess computational capabilities alongside its data storage function. The term itself is a portmanteau of "storage" and "than," suggesting a system that is more than just a passive repository of information. The core idea is to integrate processing units directly into the storage hardware, allowing data manipulation and analysis to occur at the point of storage, rather than requiring data to be transferred to a separate processing unit.
This integration could lead to significant advancements in data processing speed and efficiency. By reducing or
Challenges associated with realizing storagethan include the complexity of integrating diverse functionalities into a single device,
