Abstract
Examples may include techniques to manage multiple sequential write streams to a solid state drive (SSD). Wrap around times for each sequential write stream may be determined. Respective wrap around times for each sequential write stream may be changed for at least some of the sequential write streams to cause the multiple sequential write streams to have matching wrap around times.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry for a host computing platform coupled with a solid state drive (SSD);
- a monitor module for execution by the circuitry to monitor separate write rates for each sequential write stream of a multitude of sequential write streams merged for writing to the SSD over a first time interval;
- a time module for execution by the circuitry to determine separate wrap around times for each sequential write stream based on respective monitored separate write rates by the monitor module;
- and
- a match module for execution by the circuitry to cause the separate wrap around times for each sequential write stream to substantially match for subsequent writes to the SSD following the first time interval.

A method comprising:
- monitoring separate write rates to a solid state drive (SSD) for each sequential write stream of a multitude of sequential write streams merged for writing to the SSD over a first time interval;
- determining separate wrap around times for each sequential write stream based on respective monitored separate write rates;

1 more element
At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on system at a host computing platform cause the system to:
- monitor separate write rates for each sequential write stream of a multitude of sequential write streams merged for writing to a solid state drive (SSD) coupled with the host computing platform over a first time interval;
- determine separate wrap around times for each sequential write stream based on respective monitored separate write rates;
- and
- cause the separate wrap around times for each sequential write stream to substantially match for subsequent writes to the SSD following the first time interval.
