Abstract: Apparatuses are coupled to each other to enable data de-duplicated by post-process processing or inline processing to be stored in a distributed manner into storage devices provided for the apparatuses. An apparatus stores apparatus-information identifying the apparatuses and performance-information of the post-process processing and the inline processing. Upon receiving an instruction for storing target-data into a storage destination, the apparatus calculates, based on a size of the target-data, the performance-information, and the apparatus-information, a first-size of first-data for the post-process processing and a second-size of second-data for the inline processing such that latency by the post-process processing and latency by the inline processing are balanced with each other.

The valve reference position-learning device calculates and updates a learned value of the reference position of the wastegate valve both at and after the start of the engine, by first and second learnings, respectively. The learned value calculated by the first learning is stored as an existing learned value. Further, at the start of the engine, if the calculation of the learned value is not completed, the learned value is set to the existing stored learned value.
