... 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 (the stamp on the left commemorates his role as first US postmaster--and colonial postmaster before that). ... Franklin knew of two types of electric charge, depending on the material one rubbed. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System Page: 1 immask July 2, 2008 Abstract This task makes a mask image which includes only those pixels whose values obey the speci ed selection expression. ... The output mask image is the same size as the input image. ... The input image is expected to be in the primary array extension of the input dataset and only this extension is written to the output. The data type of the output is not actually boolean, but 8-bit integer: the values are either 0 or 1. ...

... The barrel roll is designed to protect data against bad recording tracks. Within each head group of 8 tracks, or in some modes, within a pair of head groups, the data for each ``track'' is actually recorded first on it's assigned track, then the next frame (20,000 data bits) is recorded on the next track, and the next frame on the next track and so forth. ... The options for BARREL are: . ... rolls within one group of 8 heads. roll_16 . rolls within two groups of 8 heads each. roll_auto . ...

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. ...
