Identify configured swap devices and files with cat /proc/swaps. Turn off all swap devices and files with swapoff -a. Remove any matching reference found in /etc/fstab. Optional: Destroy any swap devices or files found in step 1 to prevent their reuse. Due to your concerns about leaking sensitive information, you may wish to consider performing … Read more
On hard disks, throughput and seeking is often faster towards the beginning of the disk, because that data is stored closer to the outer area of the disk, which has more sectors per cylinder. Thus, creating the swap at the beginning of the disk might improve performance. For a 2.6 Linux kernel, there is no … Read more
You are right, the Ubuntu EC2 EBS images don’t come with swap space configured (for 11.04 at least). The “regular” instance-type images do have a swap partition, albeit only 896 MB on the one I tested. If some process blows up and you don’t have swap space, your server could come to a crawling halt … Read more
Couple of things You can recombine by masking x with a value that is all FF except for bytes m and n You can compute the mask by left shifting 0xFF m times and n times and combining the result and then XOR it with 0xFFFFFFFF FYI when you right shift a signed value, it … Read more
Since String objects are immutable, going to a char[] via toCharArray, swapping the characters, then making a new String from char[] via the String(char[]) constructor would work. The following example swaps the first and second characters: Result:
Nope. You could have a function to make it more concise each place you use it, but in the end, the work done would be the same (plus the overhead of the function call, until/unless HotSpot moved it inline — to help it with that, make the function static final).
So I am implementing a block swap algorithm in python. The algorithm I am following is this: Initialize A = arr[0..d-1] and B = arr[d..n-1] 1) Do following until size of A is equal to size of B a) If A is shorter, divide B into Bl and Br such that Br is of same … Read more
