Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a file system process determining to a flush a node in a first tree. The first node includes a buffer structured as a second tree. The file system process generates an input/output instruction to load the buffer from a first memory to a second memory. The second tree is stored in two more non-contiguous locations in the first memory and the input/output operation includes a read operation corresponding to each of the two or more non-contiguous locations. The file system process causes the input/output instruction to be executed concurrently on the first memory.
