The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

forcing files to stay in RAM

Asked by tanc24 in Unix Operating Systems, HP-UX Unix

Tags: disk

Hi,

I run some calculations  updating some images ( updating each byte in them).
The total size of files is around 10-20 Mb.
At this point the finished programs loop (thousands of times) through open,read , update, save on hard cycle.

In order to not rewrite the programs and still making them run faster I was wondering if it is possible to keep the files in ram (saving the disk I/O could be more than enough)

I tried allready to have them in /tmp... I am not very sure they are really in ram... Is there any
 way to force those files to stay in the ram ( a kind of virtual disk) and my programs to see them as  regular files?  I guess tmpfs and mount sound like what I need, I would appreciate any hint,

 Thanks
