Abstract
Writing data to storage utilizing a diverged thread for asynchronous write operations is provided. On a first thread, an analysis engine analyzes and identifies changed information to write to storage and an I/O manager copies the writes into buffers and places the buffers into a queue, while on a second thread, a flushless transactional layer (FTL) drive executes the writes to storage. By allowing the analysis to continue and enqueue writes on a first thread while the writes are written to storage on a second thread, the CPU and I/O of the system are utilized in parallel. Accordingly, efficiency of the computing device is improved.
