... 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 . ...

. 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. ...
