... This is called disk buffering , and the memory used for the purpose is called the buffer cache . Since memory is, unfortunately, a finite, nay, scarce resource, the buffer cache usually cannot be big enough (it can't hold all the data one ever wants to use). ... On the one hand, data that is written is often soon read again (e.g., a source code file is saved to a file, then read by the compiler), so putting data that is written in the cache is a good idea. ...

... To be read in conjunction with Chapter 5 of the WFPC2 Instrument -Handbook, Version 4.0.

We also discuss a source of error in the published values of the HST aperture correction. ... Thus faint objects near bright objects can be difficult to detect and to distinguish from PSF artifacts. ... Last updated: 06/16/98 10:38:00 . ...

... LWN.net FAQ . ... Read-copy-update (RCU) is a mutual exclusion technique which can operate without locking most of the time. It can yield significant performance benefits when the data to be protected is accessed via a pointer, is read frequently, changed rarely, and references to the structure are not held while a kernel thread sleeps. The core idea behind RCU is that, when the data requires updating, a pointer to a new structure containing the new data can be stored immediately. ...

... Range Widgets . ... Also, almost all of the functions and signals it defines are only really used in writing derived widgets. ... The "update policy" of a range widget defines at what points during user interaction it will change the value field of its Adjustment and emit the "value_changed" signal on this Adjustment. ... The "value_changed" signal is emitted continuously, i.e., whenever the slider is moved by even the tiniest amount. ... Scale Widgets . ...
