... 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. ...

... Space flight . Crew training . ... The principle of the existing reliability level of space engineering, and first of all, of rocket-launchers is laid into the milestone of the cosmonauts training (the successful launch of "Soyuz" space vehicle is close to 1, but it is less than 1), that causes a possible landing of space crews outside the regular landing site. ... However, search operations can be hampered by difficult meteorological and geographical conditions in the region of emergency landing. ...
