Abstract:
On a parallel processing system by an OS for single processors which operates, on a multiprocessor, an OS for single processors and an existing application to realize parallel processing by the multiprocessor with respect to the application, each processor includes a communication proxy unit which transfers data between tasks spreading over the processors by proxy and the communication proxy unit on a processor in which a task on a transmission side operates holds information about an address, on a processor, of a task on a reception side to receive data transferred from the task on the transmission side as proxy for the task on the reception side.
Abstract:
In a hierarchical data storage system that supplies data, on request, from a library apparatus in which the data are stored on removable media and from a high-speed cache device, the requests are analyzed to select the most frequently requested data and predict the system's least busy periods. During each predicted least busy period, data are copied from the library apparatus to the cache device, if necessary, so that all of the selected most-frequently-requested data are stored in the cache device. Data are not transferred from the library apparatus to the cache device at other times, thereby avoiding unnecessary cache replacements and improving the efficiency with which requests can be served.

Abstract:
Provided is an information processing device which enables transfer of an execution environment in a short time period without degrading basic performance of an execution environment and without requiring a large amount of memory.The information processing device comprises a basic side CPU 100 for executing basic processing and an addition side CPU 200 for executing additional processing, in which a transfer management unit 300 provided on the basic side CPU 100 transfers execution environment data 1000 including constitution information of an execution environment 30 of the additional processing to be executed on the addition side CPU and data in a memory corresponding to the execution environment to other information processing device and restores the execution environment to re-start the addition side CPU based on the received execution environment data 1000.
Abstract:
I-frames are extracted from a normal play stream in an extract section (12), coding parameters and control parameters, such as VBV delay, related to a decoder buffer are modified for trick play in an I-frame picture data conversion processor (15), repeat pictures that display the same image content as the I-frames are generated and added following the I-frames in a repeat picture adder (16), and the transfer rate is controlled in a picture data size controller (17). This solves the problem that when trick play is executed between a server and a terminal on a network, if only I-frames are used the necessary network bandwidth may increase, a buffer may fail in the decoder that reproduces the trick play stream, and the reproduced video image may be disrupted.
Abstract:
When emergency shutdown operation becomes necessary while a gas used for applying pressure to the in of the container is being supplied from the receiver tank to the container, the lever is turned and the three-way valve is switched to the second mode. Then the first valve opening in the three-way valve is blocked and the supply of the gas used for applying pressure to an inside of the container from the receiver tank to the container is stopped. In addition, since the gas can flow between the second valve opening on the container side and the third valve opening opened to an atmosphere in the container is released to an atmosphere. In other words, in the present invention, the supply of the gas used for applying pressure to the in the container can be stopped and, in the same time, in the container is released to the atmosphere with a single action, namely, manually turning the lever provided close to the driving seat. Therefore, the safety level of the system is very high.
Abstract:
According to the bill processing apparatus of the present invention, the damage of bills picked one by one by the bill processing apparatus and the kind of bills are discriminated by a discriminating and judging section, and stacked in a stacking section by damaged and the kind of bills. The stacked bills are bundled by a predetermined number of bills by a binding unit, and stored in a predetermined safe. At this time, a mark is printed on the bundle of improper bills bundled by a predetermined number. Also, when the bundling state of the proper bills is not favorable, the form of the bundle of the proper bills is selected by a bundle form sensor, and stored in the same storing section as the case of the improper bills. Moreover, in dispensing each bundle, the bundling state of the bundle to be dispensed is checked by the bundle form sensor. Therefore, in a case that the bundle of the bills bundled by the predetermined number of bills is dispensed, only the bundle of the proper bills whose bundling state is within the regulated form is used.
Abstract:
For flexibly setting up an execution environment according to contents of processing to be executed while taking stability or a security level into consideration, the multiple processor system includes the execution environment main control unit 10 which determines CPU assignment at the time of deciding CPU assignment, the execution environment sub control unit 20 which controls starting, stopping and switching of an execution environment according to an instruction from the execution environment main control unit 10 to synchronize with the execution environment main control unit 10, and the execution environment management unit 30 which receives input of management information or reference refusal information of shared resources for each CPU 4 or each execution environment 100 to separate the execution environment main control unit 10 from the execution environment sub control units 20a through 20n, or the execution environment sub control units 20a through 20n from each other.
