... 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. ...

... 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 . ...

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. ...

. Reinhard Hanuschik . Revised: 02 October 2010 . The Office of the Director General requires that all Directorates provide a tri-monthly report ("quarterly report") of workpackage activities. The DPD tri-monthly report is a group effort - each QC scientist provides input for their assigned instruments. Please go here and follow the instructions. In essence, you need to fill and upload one text file called "high_your_name.txt". Its content is included automatically in the report.

To change the Scaling Function (how pixel values are binned into color levels): . ... For example, the basic grey-scale color map specifies no intensity for any color at the lowest color level, full intensity for all colors at the highest color level, with the red, green and blue intensities varying linearly for intermediate levels. ... At low bias, low color levels (i.e., low pixel values) will have non-zero intensities, while at high bias only high pixel values will have non-zero intensity. ...
