Abstract:

Systems and methods may provide for detecting a pending write operation directed to a target memory region and determining whether the target memory region satisfies a degradation condition in response to the pending write operation. Additionally, the target memory region may be automatically reconfigured as a cold storage region if the target memory region satisfies the degradation condition. In one example, determining whether the target memory region satisfies the degradation condition includes updating the number of write operations directed to the target memory region based on the pending write operation and comparing the number of write operations to an offset value, wherein the degradation condition is satisfied if the number of write operations exceeds the offset value.
