Abstract: An amplification number may be input into a storage subsystem interface. A processor in a storage system may receive an original input/output (I/O) request from an application. The processor may determine, in response to the amplification number being input, to duplicate the original I/O request one or more times. The processor may generate one or more duplicate I/O requests of the original I/O request. The processor may store the original I/O request in a general address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may store the one or more duplicate I/O requests in a reserved address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may execute the original I/O request and the one or more duplicate requests.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for programmatic implicit multithreading. A first operation is executed on a first thread in a processor, where the first operation is from a set of operations within a block of code of an application that are distinct and process unrelated data. A determination is made as to whether a time limit associated with executing the first operation has been exceeded. Responsive to the time limit being exceeded, a determination is made as to whether there is one or more unexecuted operations in the set of operations. Responsive to one or more unexecuted operations existing in the set of operations, a new thread is spawned off on the processor to execute a next unexecuted operation of the one or more unexecuted operations.
