Abstract: An ECM apparatus includes a stationary cathode tool having a
passage, and a drive mechanism for moving a bar-shaped workpiece
through the passage of the cathode tool while
simultaneously rotating the workpiece. Electrolyte flows,
from a manifold on one end of the cathodic tool to a manifold

of the passage and the workpiece. An electric current is
simultaneously established in the electrolyte, between the
wall of the passage and the workpiece. The internal shape of
the cathodic tool wall has a gradual transition from a
circular entry opening to a lobed exit opening, and lobes
formed in the wall of the tool are shaped so that they twist
in the direction of workpiece rotation, in order to form
helical lobes in the workpiece.

Abstract: A prefetch command control apparatus is provided. A protocol slot generation unit, when receiving from a CPU a prefetch command in which a utilization time of data to be prefetched is specified, generates a protocol slot based on the utilization time and registers it in a schedule list storage unit. When receiving a regular access command, the protocol slot generation unit registers a protocol slot in a regular protocol queue storage unit. A cost evaluation unit evaluates an issuance cost of the prefetch command based on a cache retention time of data to be prefetched and evaluates an issuance cost of the regular access command based on a resource occupation cost. A protocol issuance unit decides which command shall be issued, the prefetch command or regular access command, based on the evaluation result of these issuance costs.
