... 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. ...

Important Information: Since the campus network allows student-to-student communication and since this network is part of the on campus learning infrastructure, students should make use of it. Past experience shows that students won't make use of it unless they are assigned to do so. For this homework assignment, you are to collaborate with at least one other student. ... This is best done by using an internet search engine and typing in a key word related to the question. ...

... This is the eighth SADE slew anomaly of this type, the third with SADE 2-R. The belief is that all are radiation/EMI induced and are not permanent.

... ClassX is a project aimed at creating an automated system to classify X-ray sources and is envisaged as a prototype of the Virtual Observatory. ... The most fundamental are: (a) classification methods and algorithms, (b) selection and definition of classes (object types), and (c) identification of source counterparts across multi-wavelength data. ... Using different sets of training parameters (attributes), we get different classifiers for the same list of class names (e.g., Figure 1). ...

Next: Examples Up: Graphic Facilities Previous: Handling of Plotfiles . For any PostScript hardcopy printer that has been assigned by ASSIGN/GRAPH , MIDAS produces a so-called encapsulated PostScript file. Using a public domain macro package ( e.g. Psfig/TeX) this PostScript plot file can, with a minimum of effort, be included in TeX or LaTeX documents.
