Say you have 100 MB ram and 200 MB swap and your application need 301 MB to load. It's simple, you don't have enough juice to run it.
But on the other hand, I like the idea of using some of the drive, at an extremely low priority, for 'just in case'.

Is Swap Necessary?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Start running bunch of applications and seeing what happens with the memory and the swap. The swap hardly gets used at all if you have 1GB RAM. On the other hand, on my old 486 with 32MB of RAM, swap was the main thing.. Sometimes several hundred MBs
One can have 1GB of RAM for a fairly cheap price. I really doubt that majority of newest desktop PCs need to swap on the HD at all.
The unused/used portions argument from the article isn't quite true. You don't have to swap every unused bit, if you have enough RAM, leave everything there. It's R-A-M. don't access parts you don't need. If you don't have them in the RAM, read them from the drive, don't waste time putting them where they mostly are in the first place.
I'm willing to bet that people who need performance, don't often run 10 applications at the same time. If they do, they surely know what are they doing.
IMHO the average user should get enough RAM and no swap, let the OS optimize things a bit.
American Pie Lyrics
100% Legal MP3 Downloads
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
And with every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So...
*Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing(*)
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing(*)
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing(*)
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing(*)
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
Are the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing(*)

Its a student-tuition situation:), so instead of spamming people for money, I decided to do something I have skills and experience in.
The website is new so all of my expectations are yet to be seen if they'll come true.
To answer your question, my guess (bussiness dictionary: market estimation analysis:) ) was that coders do need fast data algorithms, and I had UltraHash (research paper and everything) prepared for CEC2004 (two prizes), so I started with it and with md5 after that. I noticed that I like that kind of abstract thinking quite a lot (optimization problems and such), so I dug into it.
IO really dominates the process of working on small chunks, however if you start prefetching your data from the memory in the cache, the effect will be reduced a bit. From my experience,the gain in speed savings is up to 5-10% when accessing linear array, just by telling the processor to load something aforehand.
As for the target market, there are some things I'm planning to do with that website. I promise they'll be fun to hear/take part in:)
1. Part of the comment. My argument was that performances do matters. I've seen animations for DOS on my old 486 that operates faster with 2D bitmaps than a standard windows start menu on some older PII computers. When coding anything, msot of the code should be done to be fast. On the other hand, when $$$ are there just to do the job quick, it is a whole new story.
2. My next project is supposed to be either an encryption or a hash algorithm. I still haven't decided though. On the other hand if I hear few more SHA comments I'll make my pick really soon:)
3. I agree.
4. I've yet to see that. But we all think we are unique, just like everyone else:)
But in every case, it depends on the time available. If you are bussiness, you have to pay development time if you want to improve things. Interestingly though, sometimes, even a small change can yield totaly differnet performance. It happened to me that switching the position of the two lines in the most critical part of the algorithms, changed the total performance by 5%.
The golden rule of programming has always been that clarity and correctness matter much more than the utmost speed. Very few people will argue with that
Really? How about the server side of things?

Slashdot Mirror
If you had READ the article you would have also read it states:
The Microsoft-branded devices will "look and feel" as good as the iPod for as little as $50,
That validates my joking about there possibly being additional costs.
Don't be so triiger happy, first do try go grasp what others are trying to say.
