Book swapping or book exchange is the practice of a swap of books between one person and another. Practiced among book groups, friends and colleagues at work, it provides an inexpensive way for people to exchange books, find out about new books and obtain a new book to read without having to pay. Because swaps occur between individuals, without central distribution or warehousing, and without the copyright owner making a profit, the practice has been compared to peer to peer P2P systems such as BitTorrent protocol BitTorrent ref http www.theinquirer.net en inquirer news 2006 08 09 bittorrent arrives for books BitTorrent arrives for books The INQUIRER Bot generated title ref except that hard copy original analog objects are exchanged. College book exchange programs Many colleges and universities have developed online book exchange programs to help students save money on text books. Some colleges build their own systems and others use systems from third party service providers. AmericasBookShelf.com gives its members access to fellow member books that they are willing to share for free.

Orphan date February 2009 In computing the working set size is the amount of memory needed to compute the answer to a problem. In any computing scenario, but especially high performance computing where mistakes can be costly, this is a significant design criteria for a given super computer system in order to ensure that the system performs as expected. When a program algorithm computes the answer to a problem it uses a set of data input and intermediate data to complete the work. For a given instance of a problem and program combination the size of this data set is the working set . The Working Set Size WSS is then the size of the data set. The significance of this is that if the Working Set Size is larger than the available memory in a virtual memory system then the memory manager must refer to the next level in the memory hierarchy usually hard disk to perform a swap operation swapping some memory contents from RAM to hard disk to enable the program to continue working on the problem. If this swapping goes on continuously the program is slowed down significantly. This phenomena is known as thrashing computer science thrashing . Category Computer memory ... more details

Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive.

The Labrador Fiasco ISBN 0 7475 2889 6 is a book by Canadian author Margaret Atwood . It was published in 1996, and incorporates two of Atwood s longstanding interests of Canadian history and the Canadian wilderness. Labrador refers to the Canadian place rather than the breed of dog. The story contains two stories, one within another. This poses some reading challenges as a constantly swapping point of view can sometimes be hard to follow. The story also fails to reveal the names of the narrator or other main characters, thus making them mysterious to readers.

In computer programming , the act of swapping two variable programming variable s refers to mutually exchanging the values of the variables. Usually, this is done with the data in computer storage memory . For example, in a computer program program , two variables may be defined thus in pseudocode pre data item x 1 data item y 0 pre To swap them one might do swap x, y In many programming language s where the swap subroutine function is built in in C , function overloading overloads are provided allowing std swap to swap some large structures in O 1 time. After swap is performed, x will contain the value 0 and y will contain 1 their values have been exchanged. Of course, this operation may be generalized to other types of values, such as string computer science strings , aggregated data type s and possibly entire container data structure container s.
