Managing allocation of sub-blocks in a memory sub-system

A method comprising:

• computing a predefined value associated with each die of a memory device comprising a plurality of dies, wherein the predefined value is a shift in an index value of each sub-block associated with each die of the memory device, wherein each die of the memory device comprises a plurality of sub-blocks, wherein the predefined value is determined to avoid using sub-blocks with similar error characteristics across the plurality of dies;
• receiving a request to perform a first programming operation;
• identifying, based on the predefined value, a first sub-block of a first die of the memory device;
• performing the first programming operation on a first set of cells associated with the first sub-block of the first die of the memory device;
• identifying, based on the predefined value, a second sub-block of a second die of the memory device on which to perform a second programming operation;
• and
• performing the second programming operation on a second set of cells associated with the second sub-block of the second die, wherein the second sub-block of the second die is associated with a different index value than the first sub-block of the first die.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• performing a first programming operation on a first set of cells associated with a first sub-block of a first die of a memory device comprising a plurality of dies, wherein each die of the memory device comprises a plurality of sub-blocks;
• identifying, based on a first predefined value, a second sub-block of a second die of the memory device on which to perform a second programming operation, wherein the first predefined value is a shift in an index value of the first sub-block of the first die of the memory device, wherein the first predefined value is determined to avoid using sub-blocks with similar error characteristics across the plurality of dies;
• and
• performing the second programming operation on a second set of cells associated with the second sub-block of the second die, wherein the second sub-block of the second die is associated with a different index value than the first sub-block of the first die.
