Abstract: In an approach to adaptive tape calibration criteria based on the number of dead tracks, the number of rewrite occurrences for each dead track on a tape drive is determined. Responsive to detecting that a head is in a dead track state, the number of dead tracks is stored on the tape drive. A calibration threshold is determined, where the calibration threshold includes the number of dead track rewrites and the calibration reference value for a specific tape drive type. Responsive to the number of rewrite occurrences exceeding the calibration threshold while writing a data set, a calibration of the tape drive.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer terminal includes a bid data obtaining unit, a bid data transmitter, a contract result calculator, a contract result transmitter, a contract result receiver, and a contract result selector. The bid data obtaining unit obtains bid data. The bid data transmitter transmits the bid data to another peer-to-peer terminal. The contract result calculator calculates a contract result from a bid data set obtained by the bid data obtaining unit and including the bid data. The contract result transmitter transmits the contract result to the other peer-to-peer terminal. The contract result receiver receives, from the other peer-to-peer terminal, another contract result calculated by the other peer-to-peer terminal. The contract result selector selects one contract result from among the contract result and the other contract result.
