Abstract

A system includes integrated circuit (IC) dice and a processing device that retrieves a first block group to be written to the IC dice, the first block group being a contiguous portion of a file and associated with a first stream ID. In response to determining there is allocable space available in a first group of memory cells assigned to the first stream ID, identify a write pointer of the first group and allocate, within the first group, a contiguous range of physical addresses beyond the write pointer to which to write the first block group. The processing device retrieves a second block group to be written to the IC dice, the second block group associated with a second file, allocates the second block group to a second group of the memory cells, and assigns a second stream ID associated with the second group to the second block group.
