Write amplification penalty reporting

A method comprising:

• generating a virtual memory group comprising a portion of a memory component of a set of memory components;
• computing a write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group;
• communicating, to a host, information about the write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group;
• and
• receiving, from the host, a request to invalidate data associated with the virtual memory group, the request being generated by the host based on the write amplification penalty.

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

• generating a virtual memory group comprising a portion of a memory component of a set of memory components;
• computing a write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group;
• communicating, to a host, information about the write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group;
• and
• receiving, from the host, a request to invalidate data associated with the virtual memory group, the request being generated by the host based on the write amplification penalty.
