摘要:
A method of recording a large quantity of data by one code mark. Four bit indicating fields (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) for denoting a binary number of four bits are provided on the surface of a card (1). One numerical value is recorded by indicating predetermined bit parts of the four bit indicating fields (2a-2d) with the same color, and plural kinds of colors are mixedly given to the four bit indicating fields (2a-2d).

An object of the present invention is to provide a storage controller capable of facilitating extension of storage capacity while suppressing investment related to storage capacity.The present invention has achieved the storing of system configuration information including content of a definition, set externally, of a virtual volume with storage capacity that is larger than a real storage capacity composed of the storage capacity of a storage device unit, and content of a definition, set externally, of at least one of a real volume formed as a result of dividing the real storage capacity, and a pool area; and communicating the storage capacity of the virtual volume based on the stored system configuration information in response to a storage capacity confirmation request from the host system, and, based on the system configuration information, writing or reading relevant data to or from a relevant address position in the storage device unit in response to a data input/output request from the host system designating an address in the real volume, and writing or reading relevant data to or from the pool area in response to a data input/output request from the host system designating an address in the virtual volume other than the real volume.

A storage subsystem in which write data written in a first storage subsystem from a plurality of host computers is copied onto a second storage subsystem, thereby protecting the write data in a multiplex manner. Disclosed are a storage subsystem and its controlling method in which the first storage subsystem has a storage control unit which sets a first threshold for controlling for each of the host computers an occupancy ratio of the write data whose copy to the second storage subsystem is incomplete in a data buffer in the first storage subsystem, and has control logic for delaying the processing of a data write request from each of the host computers on the basis of the first threshold.

A storage apparatus that provides a dynamically extensible virtual volume for a host apparatus that accesses the virtual volume is characterized by including: a management unit setting part for setting a management unit, with which an area for storing data sent from the host apparatus is divided on a predetermined-area basis for management, for a pool area that provides a storage area to be assigned to the virtual volume; and a management unit resetting part for resetting the management unit set by the management unit setting part via analysis of the status of access from the host apparatus to the data at a predetermined time to make the management unit optimum for the status of access from the host apparatus to the data.

Formation of well-regions of a conductivity type opposite to that of a substrate is achieved in such a manner to determine a first threshold voltage level. Ion implantation is effected on desirably selected gates in the respective channels formed on the substrate and the well-regions. Two channels on the ion implanted substrate and on the well-region in which the ion implantation is not effected, are coupled to form a complementary-MOS transistor pair having a first threshold voltage level. The channels on the substrate in which the ion implantation is not effected and on the ion implanted well-region are coupled to form another complementary-MOS transistor pair having a second threshold voltage level.

A MOS transistor is featured by providing mult-layered covering elements for covering a channel region of the semiconductor device. Each of the covering elements is interposed by an insulating layer. Preferably, the covering layers comprise first and second covering layers neither of which are connected to either of the drain electrode, the source electrode, or the gate electrode. A field plate layer, as a third covering layer, is disposed over the first and second covering layers.

A sealing technique is disclosed by which the firing voltage of atmospheric discharge is increased by a pressurizing procedure such that the internal pressure of a sealing chamber is held at room temperature above half (0.5) of the atmospheric pressure even after the completion of sealing. Preferably, the pressurizing procedure is accomplished by a partial modification in the existing sealing facilities (for example, belt furnaces and low temperature furnaces). In another aspect of the invention, the method for sealing a semiconductor device minimizes water in the chamber after sealing by suppressing water expelled from glass frit during sealing or allowing the glass frit to absorb the water expelled therefrom. In other words, sealing is performed first under nitrogen gas atmosphere and then under oxygen gas atmosphere.
摘要:
In a prior art disk subsystem formed by duplicating a shared memory (SM) in a DRAM (first area) and a SRAM (second area) having a higher speed than the DRAM, the data stored in the SRAM cannot be switched collectively while maintaining access to the SM, so that the access performance was deteriorated. According to the present invention, when there is a change in setting of data stored in a second area (SRAM), a data corresponding to the setting after the change is stored from a first area (DRAM) of a slave surface side SM to the second area (SRAM), and the setting of data of the second area (SRAM) is changed. After changing the setting, the slave surface side SM is changed to a master surface side SM.

The storage controller of the present invention is able to reduce the amount of purge message communication and increase the processing performance of the storage controller. Each microprocessor creates and saves a purge message every time control information in the shared memory is updated. After a series of update processes are complete, the saved purge messages are transmitted to each microprocessor. To the control information, attribute corresponding to its characteristics is established, and cache control and purge control are executed depending on the attribute.
