A multi-ring memory controller sends request packets to multiple rings of serial flash-memory chips. Each of the multiple rings has serial flash-memory chips with serial links in a uni-directional ring. Each serial flash-memory chip has a bypassing transceiver with a device ID checker that bypasses serial packets to a clock re-synchronizer and bypass logic for retransmission to the next device in the ring, or extracts the serial packet to the local device when an ID match occurs. Serial packets pass through all devices in the ring during one round-trip transaction from the controller. The average latency of one round is constant for all devices on the ring, reducing data-dependent performance, since the same packet latency occurs regardless of the data location on the ring. The serial links can be a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express bus. Packets have modified-PCI-Express headers that define the packet type and data-payload length.

A method and system for identifying data locations or uniform resource locators associated with physical observations in the real world. The method and system includes selecting certain physical parameters based upon an observation of real world objects and events and associating such physical parameters with data locations on the Internet or other computer network.

The reduction of the volume capacity necessary to copy the snapshot can be achieved. When an operation volume is updated, the data before the update is saved in a difference storing volume, and the data of the two volumes, that is, the operation volume and the difference storing volume are combined to constitute the snapshot. In order to constitute the snapshot, the data necessary to constitute the snapshot is copied to the snapshot saving volume by using the block copy management table in which the data location in the operation volume and the difference storing volume is recorded, and another block copy management table for retaining the data location after the copy is saved in the volume. The saved snapshot can be referenced by accessing the snapshot saving volume, to which the data constituting the snapshot is copied, by using the snapshot read program.

A hybrid Single-Compare-Single-Store (SCSS) operation may exploit best-effort hardware transactional memory (HTM) for good performance in the case that it succeeds, and may transparently resort to software-mediated transactions if the hardware transactional mechanisms fail. The SCSS operation may compare a value in a control location to a specified expected value, and if they match, may store a new value in a separate data location. The control value may include a global lock, a transaction status indicator, and / or a portion of an ownership record, in different embodiments.

Data messages having secure data location addresses other than a predefined set are handled by a user terminal (14) in the normal way by setting up a secure tunnel (181) to a server specified in the data message (16). As this would prevent any proxy server from performing any processing on the content of the data message, messages that require the proxy to perform process on the data messages are processed separately. Data messages (251) incorporating secure media access locators identifying a predefined set of known media servers are identified by a message processing function (41, 410, 44) and passed to a proxy server over a connection between the user terminal and the proxy which does not tunnel past the proxy server, such that the proxy server may generate a redirected media access locator for return to the user terminal (14).

If a matching local repair address is identified, a repair component 606 provides access to a repair data location according to the matching local repair address and the matching repair cache region. Otherwise, a main memory 604 provides access to a memory location according to the memory address. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
