Abstract:

The disclosure is related to systems and methods of dynamic dataflow in a multiple cache architecture. In an embodiment, a system having a data storage device with a multiple cache architecture may detect at least one attribute affecting a data storage workload or data storage performance. The system may select at least one of a plurality of data flow schemes based on the at least one attribute, which may be done to optimize the data storage workload for various conditions. In another embodiment, a data storage controller may automatically and dynamically select one of multiple data flow schemes within a data storage device having a multiple cache architecture. The data storage controller may monitor attributes to determine which data flow scheme to select for various workloads of the data storage device.

Abstract:

A method of disposing of acid-dissolvable materials (e. g. , rags) which, optionally, are impregnated with a waste material (e. g. , solvents, oils, paints, and the like) is described. The first step of the procedure involves the dissolving of the acid-dissolvable materials in a strong mineral acid to form an acid solution comprising the dissolved material, and, optionally, waste which has been impregnated thereon. This acid solution is then fed to the incinerator for incineration, preferably to the incinerator of an acid regeneration plant.
