... We describe one detailed base level model, a component model for Quantity, which is a generalisation of previous informal proposals. ... In Figure 1 we propose a model for this area. The main difference between this and other proposals (see http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IVOADMQuantityWP for IVOA Quantity data modeling resources ) is that we believe that the core concept is the measurement , which we define as the act of assigning a value plus error to a property, not the quantity itself. ...

... 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. ...
