Abstract: Provided is a digital filter device that causes the last data of an immediately precedent input block to overlap with the input block of a time domain and generates an overlap block. The overlap block and the immediately precedent input block are each converted into a frequency domain block, subjected to filter processing, and converted into first and second time domain blocks. Among the overlap section of the first time domain block and the second time domain block, the front-end data of the first time domain block and the rear-end data of the temporal axis of the second time domain block are removed as a section of data that is to be removed, and output data is generated. An overlap amount is controlled on the basis of a distortion amount that is determined by comparing the removed section of the data of the first time region domain with the output section of the data of the overlap section of the second time domain block other than the removed section of said overlap section.

Abstract: A computing environment includes a home site and a cache site with nonhomogeneous thin-provisioned storage configurations. A file management system updates files stored at the cache site. Each updated file has an updated file size and a pre-update file size. When a resynchronization is needed between the cache site and the home site, for example due to an extended communication failure, the storage requirement changes for the updated files are calculated and a notification is sent to the home site. The notification identifies the updated files and the storage requirement changes. The home site sends a reply to the cache site. The reply identifies which files are approved for immediate processing. The cache site transfers resynchronization data for the approved files to the home site, and delays transferring resynchronization data for the unapproved files until subsequent replies from the home site indicate that the previously unapproved files are now approved.
