Abstract
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is disclosed. The SSD may include a flash memory to store data and support for a number of device streams. The SSD may also include an SSD controller to manage reading data from and writing data to the flash memory. The SSD may also include a host interface logic, which may include a receiver to receive the commands associated with software streams from a host, a timer to time a window, a statistics collector to determine values for at least one criterion for the software streams from the commands, a ranker to rank the software streams according to the values, and a mapper to establish a mapping between the software streams and device streams.
