1Gb+ memory problem
Hi, I have a Linux distribution ( Oralce Enterprise Linux 5.3 i.e. Redhat ) that I have installed. It works fine when I used 2*512Mb dimms or replace them with a single 1Gb dimm. However when I try to go above 1 Gb the bootup and general performance deteriorates badly. The BIOS picks up the memory changes ok and I am using the same type of memory sticks. It makes no difference if I load a single memory channel with the 2 sticks or balance the sticks over the 2 channels. I have seen quite a few hits concerning problems with performance over 1Gb - any solutions ?

Hi All,
I know the separate commands for finding files greater than 30 days and finding files greater than 1GB.
How do I combine these two commands?
Meaning how do I find files which are > 1GB and older than 30 days?

Hey Guys,
I have a scenario to compare two different files which are of size 1gb each. I need to get the uncommon lines. I planned to use sdiff command, which generally works perfect for me. But in this case am facing a error saying

Can anyone please explain this.... (2 Replies)

fifo(3tcl) fifo(3tcl)
NAME
fifo - Create and manipulate u-turn fifo channels
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl
package require memchan
fifo
DESCRIPTION
fifo creates a stream-oriented in-memory channel and returns its handle. There is no restriction on the ultimate size of the channel, it
will always grow as much as is necessary to accommodate the data written into it.
In contrast to the channels generated by memchan a channel created here effectively represents an U-turn. All data written into it
can be read out, but only in the same order. This also means that a fifo channel is not seekable.
The channels created here can be transferred between interpreters in the same thread and between threads, but only as a whole. It is
not possible to use them to create a bi- or unidirectional connection between two interpreters.
Memory channels created by fifo provide two read-only options which can be queried via the standard fconfigure command. These are
-length
The value of this option is the number of bytes currently stored in the queried memory channel.
-allocated
The value of this option is the number of bytes currently allocated by the queried memory channel. This number is at least as big as
the value of -length.
As the channels generated by fifo grow as necessary they are always writable. This means that a writable fileevent-handler will fire con-
tinuously.
The channels are also readable if they contain more than zero bytes. Under this conditions a readable fileevent-handler will fire continu-
ously.
NOTES
One possible application of memory channels created by memchan or fifo is as temporary storage device to collect data coming in over a pipe
or a socket. If part of the processing of the incoming data is to read and process header bytes or similar fifo are easier to use as they
do not require seeking back and forth to switch between the assimilation of headers at the beginning and writing new data at the end.
