According to one embodiment, a memory system comprises an encoder that encodes by a graph code and a data holding unit that holds data to be used in encoding. A check matrix of the graph code includes first to sixth submatrices, and the encoder produces a first vector obtained by multiplying an information word and the first submatrix, produces a second vector obtained by multiplying the information word and the third submatrix, produces a third vector obtained by multiplying the first vector and the fifth submatrix inverted in sign, produces a fourth vector obtained by adding the third vector and the second vector, produces a first parity obtained by multiplying the fourth vector and the data, produces a fifth vector obtained by multiplying the first parity and the second submatrix inverted in sign, and produces a second parity obtained by adding the fifth vector and the first vector.

Memory system and method of controlling nonvolatile memory

A memory system includes a non-volatile memory. A coding unit generates a codeword by performing coding of a graph code using a graph. A side of the graph is associated with a block that is a part of user data and that has one or more symbols at which component codes intersect one another. A control unit stores the codeword in the non-volatile memory. Error correction is performed on the user data in accordance with the codeword.

Memory system and memory control method

An electric power supply-and-demand control system includes a memory unit, an estimation unit, a first calculation unit, and a second calculation unit. The system is capable of transmitting/receiving data to/from a power management apparatus provided to each of consumers to instruct a power management apparatus to adjust electric power. The memory unit memorizes a supply, consumptions, reserve power, and response results. The estimation unit estimates a response speed on the basis of the response results. The first calculation unit calculates a target value which allows it to eliminate an unbalance between the supply and a demand. The demand is given as a total of the consumptions. The second calculation unit calculates second adjustment amounts so that a total of the second adjustment amounts approaches the target value and is in the range.

Electric power supply-and-demand control system, electric power management apparatus, and electric power supply-and-demand control method

A first predicting unit predicts a power demand required by each customer. A first reliability value calculator calculates the reliability value of the predictive power demand for each customer. Predicted power supply from a power system is calculated with respect to each power generating unit. A second reliability value calculator calculates the reliability value of the predictive power supply for each power generating unit. A balancing unit obtains a supply-demand margin level based on the difference between: a first weighted sum obtained by performing weighted sum on the predictive power demand and a weight depending on the reliability value; and a second weighted sum obtained by performing weighted sum on the predictive power supply and a weight depending on the reliability value. A plan creator creates a plan for controlling power used by the controllable appliance of the customer based on the supply-demand margin level.
