Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for selection of memory locations for data access operations in a dispersed storage network (DSN) are disclosed. In various embodiments, a dispersed storage (DS) processing module of the DSN receives a DSN access request regarding at least one data segment of a data object. The DS processing module determines a DSN address associated with the DSN access request and performs a scoring function using the DSN address and one or more properties of DSN memory to produce a storage scoring resultant. The storage scoring resultant is utilized to identify a set of storage units of the DSN. A set of access requests is then sent to the set of storage units regarding the DSN access request. The scoring function can include, for example, performing deterministic functions, normalizing functions and ranking functions to produce the storage scoring resultant.

Claim (Index 15):
The computer readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more processing modules functions to execute the operational instructions stored by the at least one memory section to cause the one or more computing devices of the DSN to further perform the scoring function by:\n selecting a resource level relating to the DSN memory; selecting the one or more properties of DSN memory from a plurality of properties of the DSN memory based on the selected resource level; calculating, based on the selected resource level, a plurality of storage values based on the DSN address and the one or more properties of DSN memory; and performing a ranking function of the plurality of storage values to produce the storage scoring resultant.
