... 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 choice of which type of electricity is called "positive" and which "negative" was made around 1750 by Ben Franklin, early American scientist and man of many talents.

... BITS sets the number of bits per sample for each baseband channel. ... Since an experiment will typically use the same number of bits per sample for all channels, it is usually only necessary to specify one value. If BITS is 2 , the first magnitude bit is placed on assigned track plus 8 for FORMAT = VLBA1:4 , on assigned track plus 4 for FORMAT = VLBA1:2 , and on assigned track plus 2 for FORMAT = VLBA1:1 . ... Same as baseband channel 1 if one or more are set. ... Example: BITS=1 . ...
