1. A method for associating a stream identifier (ID) with an output data stream from a computing process, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device comprising a processor device, a first computing process characteristic of a first computing process that generates a first output data stream;
accessing a structure that correlates the first computing process characteristic to a first stream ID;
associating a first filter driver with the first computing process to configure the first filter driver to receive the first output data stream, the first filter driver being associated with a flash storage device; and
sending the first stream ID to the first filter driver.

Abstract
Categorizing computing process output data streams for flash storage devices is disclosed. A first computing process characteristic of a first computing process that generates a first output data stream is determined. A structure that correlates the first computing process characteristic to a first stream identifier is accessed. A first filter driver is associated with the first computing process to configure the first filter driver to receive the first output data stream. The first filter driver is associated with a flash storage device. The first stream identifier is sent to the first filter driver.

10. A computing device for associating a stream identifier (ID) with an output data stream, comprising:
-
a communication interface to communicate with a network; and a processor device coupled to the communication interface to; access first information that correlates a first container process to a first stream ID; associate a first filter driver with the first container process to configure the first filter driver to receive a first output data stream from the first container process, the first filter driver being associated with a flash storage device; and send the first stream ID to the first filter driver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
