  • Patent number: 9933948
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a tiered storage system includes a tiered storage device and a computer. The computer uses the tiered storage device, and includes a file system and a correction support unit. If an access request from an application is a write request to request overwriting of data, the file system executes a copy-on-write operation. The correction support unit causes the storage controller to carry over an access count manacled by the storage controller and associated with the logical block address of a copy source in the copy-on-write operation, to an access count associated with the logical block address of a copy destination in the copy-on-write operation.

  • Publication number: 20070099690
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gaming machine. According to the gaming machine, when the detection of the stop operation is carried out, the number of sliding symbols is obtained on the basis of the symbol specified by the symbol specifying means and the stop table and the highest priority attraction-in ranking is determined among a the predetermined number of symbols from the symbols specified by the symbol specifying means, on the basis of the internal winning combination determined. In addition, when a priority attraction-in ranking of the symbol based on the number of sliding symbols obtained is same as the priority attraction-in ranking determined to be highest, the rotation of reel is stopped on the basis of the number of sliding symbols obtained, and when it is not same, the rotation of reel is stopped on the basis of the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the symbol having the priority attraction-in ranking determined to be highest.
