When recording data on a multilayer optical disk, the recording power for a recording layer provided further from the laser beam incident side is optimized. The method includes triggering a first set of processors, using a lead processor of the plurality of processors when the lead processor encounters the synchronization point, to enter an exit holding loop. In a preferred embodiment, the fixture supports the device along the periphery of the posterior optic thereof such that the haptics and anterior optic extend freely therefrom. The former requires that the configuration repository be version aware, while the latter breaks down the application deployment process into two phases\u2014one for data distribution and processing as far as possible, and the second to expose the changes through the Java Naming and Directory Interface.
