FADU puts the filesystem inside the SSD's flash to bypass host CPUs

FADU announced a File-Semantic SSD at the 2026 OCP Global Summit that moves the filesystem into the SSD itself, so GPUs, DPUs, and NICs can open and read files with no host filesystem, block layer, or storage-server CPU in the path.
