yes: don't do anything. it's OS task to cope with that.
well beyond the area I know, but it seems like given the
relative structure of costs for random seeks for SSDs you often
want to process files in parallel, whereas the opposite is true
for spinning platters. The OS can't help you here.
Well, actually, it should. In theory, all you need to do is to
queue as many reads/writes as you can - using threads, fibers,
async I/O calls, etc. This is not the same as sequentially
reading/writing random blocks. The OS I/O scheduler should
reorder the operations so that the accessed blocks are in order
and physically close to each other.
