Abstract
Techniques for improving flash memory flushing are disclosed. In some embodiments, the techniques may be realized as a method for improving flash memory flushing including receiving a request to write to flash memory, writing data associated with the request to the flash memory, identifying a pointer to a region bitmap corresponding to a write region for the write request, marking a bit of the region bitmap corresponding to the request as dirty, and updating the pointer, using a pointer management component, to the region bitmap to contain a dirty block count.
