In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for allocation of finite computational resources amongst multiple entities, wherein the method is structured to optimize the business value of an enterprise providing computational services. One embodiment of the inventive method involves establishing, for each entity, a service level utility indicative of how much business value is obtained for a given level of computational system performance. The service-level utility for each entity is transformed into a corresponding resource-level utility indicative of how much business value may be obtained for a given set or amount of resources allocated to the entity. The resource-level utilities for each entity are aggregated, and new resource allocations are determined and executed based upon the resource-level utility information. The invention is thereby capable of making rapid allocation decisions, according to time-varying need or value of the resources by each of the entities.

The present document describes methods and systems for the automatic inspection of material quality. A set of lights with a geometric pattern is cast on a material to be analyzed. Depending on the material being inspected, same may act as a mirror and the reflected image is captured by a capture device, or the light passes through the material being inspected and the image is captured by a capture device. Defects in the material can be detected by the distortion caused by same in the pattern of the reflected image or passing through. Finally, software is used to identify and locate these distortions, and consequently the defects in the material. This classification of defects is carried out using artificial intelligence techniques.

A non-volatile storage device (1) has non-volatile memory units (FARY0 to FARY3), buffer units (BMRY0 to BMRY3) and a control unit (CNT), and the control unit can control a first access processing between an outside and the buffer unit and a second access processing between the non-volatile memory unit and the buffer unit upon receipt of directives from the outside separately from each other. The control unit can independently carry out an access control over the non-volatile memory unit and the buffer unit in accordance with the directives sent from the outside, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to set up next write data to the buffer unit simultaneously with the erase operation of the non-volatile memory unit or to output once read storage information to the buffer unit at a high speed as in a cache memory operation in accordance with the directive sent from the outside. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the overhead of a data transfer for reading/writing data from/to the non-volatile storage device.
