... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...

... The science data that an observer receives are calibrated in the pipeline by at least one, and possibly two, STSDAS calibration routines: calnica and calnicb . ... Calnicb is applied to the calibrated science data files (output from calnica ), and requires association tables and the *_spt.fits files. ... Grism data are processed with separate calibration software, calnicc , which performs a series of steps that identify and extract spectra from the images. ...

... Subject: G.08 How are stars named? Can I name/buy one? ... The Supernova of 1987 (Supernova 1987A), one of the major astronomical events of this century, was identified with the star named SK -69 202 in the very specialized catalog, the _Deep Objective Prism Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud_, published by the Warner and Swasey Observatory. These procedures and catalogs accepted by the International Astronomical Union are the only means by which stars receive long-lasting names. ...
