Abstract: A computing device is provided, comprising: a communications interface; a memory storing a plurality of item records, a plurality of line records containing attributes of production lines, and a plurality of site records each containing identifiers of a subset of the production lines; and a processor interconnected with the communications interface and the memory. The processor is configured to: receive a project including an item identifier corresponding to an item record; retrieve at least one of the site records; retrieve the item record corresponding to the item identifier, and the line records identified in the at least one retrieved site record; and select one of the retrieved line identifiers for the project based on the retrieved site records, the retrieved item record and the retrieved line records.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing system with multiple logical partitions that isolate memory resources for applications contained in the logical partitions. A method is provided for moving a specific memory quantity between two logical partitions by first computing a threshold amount. Then, if the specific memory quantity to be transferred is less than the threshold amount, removing the threshold amount from memory assigned in the first partition and adding the threshold amount to memory assigned in the second partition. However, if the specific memory quantity is greater than the threshold amount, the method provides for removing an amount equal to the threshold from memory assigned in the first partition and adding that threshold amount to memory assigned in the second partition and repeating the removing and adding steps until the specific memory quantity has been transferred.
