  • Publication number: 20240012880
    Abstract: A data processing method includes a step of obtaining evaluated values of the time-series data by comparing the time-series data with reference data, a step of classifying the evaluated values into a plurality of levels, a step of displaying an evaluation result screen including a display area including a first graph showing an occurrence rate of each level of the evaluated values, the evaluation result screen including the display area with respect to each of the two or more processing units. A history screen displaying a history in which the evaluated values have been obtained and a trend screen including graphs showing temporal change in the evaluated values in addition to the evaluation result screen is hierarchically displayed. A mark is attached at a position corresponding to a processing result selected in the history screen in a graph in the trend screen.

  • Patent number: 11829451
    Abstract: A data processing method includes a step of obtaining scores of time-series data by comparing the time-series data with reference data in order to process time-series data acquired in a substrate processing apparatus having one or more processing units, a step of classifying the scores into a plurality of levels, and a step of displaying an evaluation result screen including a display area including a graph showing an occurrence rate of each level of the scores, the number of occurrences of each level, and a graph showing temporal change in the number of occurrences of a worst level of the scores when substrates have been processed through a predetermined method with respect to each of the two or more processing units. Accordingly, a data processing method through which a state of the substrate processing apparatus can be easily ascertained is provided.

  • Publication number: 20160283250
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of arithmetic processing units, a main memory, and an input/output unit. At least any one of the plurality of arithmetic processing units executes an initial process containing at least one of an initialization process and a diagnosis process for a first area, used for loading OS from the input/output unit, of the main memory. A first arithmetic processing unit, upon completing the initial process for the first area, loads the OS into the first area from the input/output unit. A second arithmetic processing unit starts the initial process for a remaining area, not yet subjected to the initial process, of the main memory during the processing by the first arithmetic processing unit. The first arithmetic processing unit, upon completion of loading, starts booting the OS.

  • Publication number: 20150006874
    Abstract: A system includes first and second nodes and a management device managing the first and second nodes. The first node manages data used for activation of an operating system. The second node acquires, from the first node via a network, the data used for activation of the operating system, and activates the operating system. The management device initiates activation for the first and second nodes; acquires, from the first node, status data indicating a status of the first node; and transmits the status data to the second node upon receiving a status request requesting the status data from the second node. The second node acquires, from the first node, the data used for activation of the operating system when the status data received from the management device indicates that activation of the operating system for the first node has been completed, and activates the operating system for the second node.
