Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The information processing device places the input first data in at least one of the plurality of storage devices. The information processing device includes a control unit that executes acquisition of a constraint condition including a first condition related to time for determining a storage device in which the first data is to be placed, and, when the generation time of the first data satisfies the first condition, determination of a first storage device that is a storage device to which the first data is to be placed according to the constraint condition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An information processing device that places received first data in at least one of a plurality of storage devices, the information processing device comprising a control unit configured to acquire a constraint condition including a first condition regarding a time, the constraint condition being a condition for determining the storage device in which the first data is to be placed, and when a generation time of the first data meets the first condition, determine a first storage device according to the constraint condition, the first storage device being the storage device in which the first data is to be placed. 2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to, when the constraint condition includes a time variable, calculate a first constraint condition, the first constraint condition being the constraint condition at a first time that is a specific time, and predict data placement based on the first constraint condition. 3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to, when the constraint condition includes a time variable, calculate a second constraint condition, the second constraint condition being the constraint condition at a second time that is a future specific time, predict future placement that is placement of the first data according to the second constraint condition, and when an amount of change in data placement that is going to be caused by changing data placement from current placement of the first data to the future placement is larger than a predetermined amount at a time when the second time comes, move the first data that has already been placed in one of the storage devices to another one of the storage devices in advance at a current point in time within a range of the current constraint condition. 4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to, when the constraint condition includes a condition regarding remaining capacities of the storage devices, determine, based on the remaining capacities of the storage devices, in which of the storage devices second data is to be placed, the second data being a duplicate of the first data. 5 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the control unit is configured to, when determining in which of the storage devices the second data that is the duplicate of the first data is to be placed, specify a predetermined range of the number of the storage devices in which the second data is to be placed, the predetermined range being from a first number of the storage devices to a second number of the storage devices, and determine to place the second data in the storage devices whose remaining capacity is a predetermined capacity or more out of the storage devices in such a manner that the specified predetermined range is satisfied.
