SSD Multiprocessing / Multithreading Chak Yee
How are SSDs involved? • File I/O slowest when seeking and writing to hard drive. • SSDs don’t have platters or mechanical heads, thus eliminates seek time.
Single vs. Multithreaded Read MB/s SSD HDD 384.46 MB/s 80.07 MB/s
Cause of Disparity • Multiple read/write requests to HDDs require head to access different parts of the platter. • SSDs can read/write from multiple modules at the same time. (Varies between makers)
