Abstract: Utilization of production equipment with diverse throughput rates is optimized by a central random access article storage apparatus disposed centrally of peripherally positioned production equipment. Computer controls enable fully automatic sequencing of production flow. The storage apparatus provide transient storage and article queuing during intermediate successive production steps. The computer control enables automatic article tracking for quality control as well as diagnosis of automatic production equipment problems.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to promotion of data from a backing store (disk storage apparatus termed DASD) to a random access cache in a storage system such as used for swap and paging data transfers. When a sequential access bit is sent to the storage system, all data specified in a read "paging mode" command is fetched to the cache from DASD. If such prefetched data is replaced from cache and the sequential bit is on, a subsequent host access request for such data causes all related data not yet read to be promoted to cache. For a certain implementation, a maximal amount of related data is promoted; such maximal amount is determined by cache addressing characteristics and DASD access delay boundaries. Without the sequential bit on, only the addressed data block is promoted to cache. TU981014
