Abstract
Techniques for increased destaging efficiency by smoothing destaging tasks to reduce long input/output (I/O) read operations are described. A method may comprise a processor device operable in the computing storage environment. The processor device destages tasks are calculated according to one of a standard time interval and a variable recomputed destaging task interval. The destaging of storage tracks between a desired number of destaging tasks and a current number of destaging tasks is smoothed according to the calculating.
