Abstract: A storage system that includes one or more memory sections, one or more switches, and a management system. The memory sections include memory devices and a section controller that is capable of detecting faults with the memory section and transmitting messages to the management system regarding detected faults. The storage system includes a management system capable of receiving fault messages from the section controllers and removing from service the faulty memory sections. Additionally, the management system determines routing algorithms for the one or more switches. In another aspect, the switch may be capable of reading a data request including a data block identifier and routing the data request and any associated data through the switch on the basis of this data block identifier, such that a data request may be routed to a memory section. The section controller, in response, may determine the addresses in the memory devices storing the requested data, and transfers these addresses to those memory devices storing the requested data. Additionally, in yet another aspect, a data request for the data may be received over a communications path by the section controller. The section controller may determine the addresses in the memory devices storing the requested data, transfer these addresses to those memory devices storing the requested data, and transfer an identifier to the memory interface device. The memory device, in response, may read the data and transfer the data to its corresponding memory interface device. The memory interface device then may add to the data the identifier it received from the section controller and forward the requested bits towards their destination, such that the data need not pass through the section controller.

IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2004-06-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil permettant de déterminer les affectations des stocks optimales sur les magasins et sections de détail. Selon un aspect, ces procédés consistent notamment à introduire un rendement des investissements dans le temps pour chaque section et/ou magasin (collectivement désignés « sections ») d'une entreprise de détail. Ce rendement des investissements peut être, par exemple, un bénéfice brut sur investissements (GMROI) qui est fonction des stocks affectés à chaque section correspondante lors de chacune ou de plusieurs périodes antérieures, par exemple saisons de vente, ainsi que le bénéfice financier réalisé par la section concernée sur la base des stocks en question. Le procédé consiste en outre à déterminer les risques inter-sections (ou inter-magasins) au niveau des bénéfices sur investissements dans le temps (par exemple GMROI), ce qui peut être déterminé, par exemple, en fonction de la covariance entre le GMROI dans le temps de chaque paire de la pluralité de sections. Le procédé consiste encore à déterminer une affectation optimale du budget des stocks pour chaque section pendant une période courante ou future, par exemple, une saison de ventes courante ou future. L'optimisation est déterminée par maximisation du bénéfice total (par exemple, montant de la marge bénéficiaire, si le GMROI est utilisé comme mesure du bénéfice sur investissements) de ces sections, dans leur ensemble, en fonction d'une ou de plusieurs contraintes, dont l'une au moins est une tolérance du risque au niveau du bénéfice sur investissements (par exemple GMROI), pour la pluralité des sections, d'une manière générale. L'affectation optimale est affichée, selon le procédé, dans un rapport adressé notamment au directeur général de service de marchandises. Autre variante, ou en outre, l'affectation optimale permet de financer des comptes utilisés par les sections pour acquérir des stocks.
