the embedded decoder may as well be closing on a full-blown SQL execution engine (as the data size tramps the executable size these days). Push that execution onto a memory chips and into SSD/HDD controllers. I think something similar happens in filesystem development too where instead of straight access to raw data you may access some execution API over the data. A modern take on IBM mainframe's filesystem database.
Ssd controllers can barely keep up with advertised read/write workloads afaik so it is hard to understand how can this be useful
