A method and system for auxiliary processing of information for a computing device. The target may comprise a first portion adapted to reflect a laser beam towards a laser tracking device, a second portion adapted to reflect a light beam towards a photogrammetry device, and a third portion adapted to identify to a computer a unique identifier of the target. The additional overhead for evaluating skip information is consumed during the read before write operation. The tissue may be irradiated in vivo through the skin or via an incision, for example. Examples of networks incorporating long latency in their systems architectures are those which rely on store-and-forward methods to physically deliver voicemail, email, internet access and other data.
