Latest Patents
One of Masakatsu Murata's latest patents involves reducing total seek time for determining an access sequence of data stored on a tape medium. In this invention, a first data group in an access sequence is selected. The distance from the current position of the tape medium is set to a logical distance value, determined by a calculation function. This value is substituted for the physical distance value for data groups located in specified regions compared to those in alternative regions. A second data group in the access sequence is then selected, and the logical distance value is determined by multiplying a coefficient based on the physical positioning of each data group in the tape medium, along with a percentage of those data groups that have already been selected.
Another patent by Murata also focuses on reducing total seek time for determining an access sequence of data stored on a tape medium. Similar to the previous invention, a first data group in an access sequence is selected. Data groups located in specified regions of the tape medium are separated from those in alternative regions. The logical distance value is again determined by a calculation function, which substitutes the physical distance value for the specified regions.
