摘要:
Optimal performance tuning is enabled by avoiding the deterioration in the performance of a storage system caused by an erroneous setting in a tuning parameter. The storage system has a primary volume provided as an operational volume to a host computer, and a secondary volume capable of forming a copy-pair with the primary volume. When the load demanded in executing I/O processing to the secondary volume set with a second tuning parameter is lighter than the load demanded in executing I/O processing to the primary volume set with a first tuning parameter, the storage controller switches the primary/secondary relationship between the primary volume and secondary volume and provides the secondary volume as the operational volume to the host computer.

A computer system includes a host computer; a first storage system that processes an I/O request issued by the host computer; and a second storage system that receives host I/O information and performance information from the first storage system and reproduces, based on the host I/O information and performance information, the internal processing conditions of the first storage system at the time the I/O request was processed, thereby simulating the I/O performance of the first storage system.

A signal transmission system has a response time of a signal transmission line which is set approximately equal to or longer than the length of a transmitted symbol. More specifically, terminal resistance is set larger than the characteristic impedance of the signal transmission line, driver output resistance is set to a large value, or a damping resistor is provided in series with the signal transmission line. With this configuration, signal power can be reduced drastically.

A restoring circuit 24, provided for each of the memory blocks 191 and 192, having registers and a selector for selecting one of the present row address and the output of the registers, provides the output of the selector to a word decoder 26. The present row address is held in one of the registers. When amplification is started by a sense amplifier 15, transfer gates 10 and 11 connected between the bit lines BL1 and *BL1 and the sense amplifier 15 are turned off to decrease the load of the sense amplifier 15, the amplified signal is stored in a buffer memory cell circuit 18, and accessing is completed with omitting restoring to the memory cell 12. While the memory cell block 191 is not selected, the data held in the buffer memory cell circuit 18 is stored into the memory cell row addressed by the content of the selected register. The sense amplifier 15 has PMOS and NMOS sense amplifiers. The PMOS sense amplifier, having a pair of cross-coupled PMOS transistors and a pair of transfer gates, the potential of the sources of the PMOS transistors being fixed at Vii, operates in a direct sensing mode when the transfer gates are off state, and then functions as a usual PMOS sense amplifier by turning on the transfer gates. Likewise for the NMOS sense amplifier.

A television channel selection monitoring apparatus for identifying the broadcast channel to which a television receiver means is tuned at any given time is disclosed. Instead of relying for the channel identification on the local oscillation frequency at the tuner of such television receiver means, the apparatus of the present invention utilizes the recognition of the channel identification number superimposed on the video signal received through the selected channel so that the image of the superimposed channel number may appear, for a certain duration following the channel selection, at a predetermined area of the image corresponding to the video signal.
