Abstract: A server computer may receive diagnostic logs from a plurality of electronic devices, each having a particular application installed. The diagnostic logs include information about call stacks within the particular application on the plurality of electronic devices for writing data to a storage device that is on each of the plurality of electronic devices. The server computer may filter out a set of call-paths from the call stacks to obtain a set of functions that can be used identify a set of call-path signatures. The server computer may for each function, determine a cumulative measure of write operations to the storage device performed by the function across the electronic devices and identify at least one function from the set of call-path signatures matching one or more predetermined criteria associated with the cumulative measures. The server computer may provide a notification and a corrective action to a developer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for preserving an expected lifespan of a non-volatile memory that is communicably coupled with a computing device. According to some embodiments, the technique can be implemented by the computing device, and include (1) receiving metrics associated with the non-volatile memory, (2) for each application of a plurality of applications associated with the computing device: establishing, based on the metrics, a respective write budget for the application. According to some embodiments, the respective write budget for each application can be further based on a count of the plurality of applications. Additionally, the technique can further include (3) receiving, from an application of the plurality of applications, a write request directed to the non-volatile memory, and (4) in response to determining that the write request does not violate the respective write budget for the application: issuing the write request to the non-volatile memory.
