Summary:This application discloses a data storage apparatus and a data processing method. The data storage apparatus includes a memory and a first near-data processing NDP unit, the first NDP unit is electrically connected to the memory, and the data storage apparatus is connected to a processor through a bus. The first NDP unit is configured to store first physical address information. The information points to first address space, and the first address space is a section of contiguous memory space that the first NDP unit has permission to use. The memory is configured to store, in the first address space, first data from the processor. The first NDP unit is further configured to read a part or all of the first data from the first address space based on an obtained first offset address and the first physical address information, and perform computation. According to embodiments of this application, hardware overheads caused by address translation in the first NDP unit can be avoided, and computing performance and an energy consumption ratio in a near-data processing process can be greatly improved.
