... 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. Franklin studied static electricity, produced by rubbing glass, amber, sulfur etc. with fur or dry cloth. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-). ... Exploration" home page (index) Glossary .

To read standard input into a shell script use the read command. For example: echo "Please enter your name:" read name echo "Welcome to Edinburgh $name" . This prompts the user for input, assigns this to the variable name and then displays the value of this variable to standard output . ... For example: echo "Please enter your surname\n" echo "followed by your first name: \c" read name1 name2 echo "Welcome to Glasgow $name2 $name1" . ...

... 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). ...

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. ...

... 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 . ...

... Satellites of the planets are assigned a provisional designation (indicating year of discovery) by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams ( CBAT ) upon satisfactory demonstration of the existence of a new object. ... In the past, Comets were first given a provisional designation, consisting of the year and a lowercase letter indicating the order of discovery in the year (e.g., 1994a was the first comet discovered or recovered in 1994, 1994b the second, etc.) ...

... 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. To do so, in the TeX or LaTeX document one should refer to the (possibly renamed) MIDAS PostScript file (normally pscrplot.ps ). ... Here is how the LaTeX text file with the included MIDAS plot then looks like. ...

... The storm (top) was actually spotted last month by amateur astronomers as it rotated across Saturn's day side and spans about 3,500 kilometers. An Unusually Smooth Surface on Saturns Telesto . ... Why is Saturn's small moon Telesto so smooth? Possibly Telesto is covered with a type of granular icy material similar to that suspected of covering Pandora, another of Saturn's small moon's. If so, Telesto might be more like a pile of rubble than a solid body. ... The Color of the Moon . ...

. The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges in the near infrared. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: F105W (Y) blue; F125W (J) green; F160W (H) red. NASA/ESA/G. Illingworth/R.

Describes how spatial region boundaries are handled. The golden rule for spatial region filtering was first enunciated by Leon VanSpeybroeck in 1986: . ... With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...

As conditional or control statements you have IF in many variants (but essentially not changed from Fortran 77), DO (with some new variants) and the completely new statement CASE . The DO- loop should now be ended with the statement END DO and we no longer need any statement number. In addition, we can use the statement EXIT to jump out of the DO -loop and CYCLE in order to go to the next iteration of the present DO -loop. ... all negative numbers WRITE (*,*) 'Negative number' CASE (0) ! ...
