Abstract

Batching techniques are provided to maximize the throughput of a hardware device based on the saturation point of the hardware device. A balancer can determine the saturation point of the hardware device and determine the estimated time cost for IO jobs pending in the hardware device. A comparison can be made and if the estimated time cost total is lower than the saturation point one or more IO jobs can be sent to the hardware device.
