Abstract
Techniques for processing I/O operations may include: randomly assigning extent identifiers of extents to RAID groups; receiving write activity information for the extents for a sampling period; for each of the RAID groups, performing stream detection processing in accordance with the first write activity information and determining stream groups, wherein each stream group of one of the RAID groups includes extents of the RAID group belonging to a same write stream in the RAID group, wherein stream groups across all RAID groups are uniquely identified using stream group identifiers; tagging a write operation directed to one of the extents with a first stream group identifier denoting a stream group including the one extent; and issuing the write operation to a solid state drive of one of the RAID groups. Stream detection may use K-Means clustering algorithm. An aggregate address range of logical devices is mapped to the extent identifiers.
