How does Firefox read-ahead?

Hello

I want to know how Firefox implements the preloading of the web (not the part about how it gets and analyzes the indication of extraction, but the part after he analyzed the indication of extraction, how does he pick up objects and store it in the cache.) If it's not done to get, how it sends the request to not ask for the party for whom it does not receive and so on). Could someone do the reference to me where I should look to get the source code?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

I think the code you want to be found here: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/uriloader/prefetch/nsPrefetchService.cpp.

If you have any other questions, please ask the Firefox team in the #fx - team on Moznet channel.

  • How does Firefox crash reporter know my email address?

    When Firefox crashes, crash reporter is pre-populated with my email address. How does do that? I don't remember precisely what gives to any point in the past, other than to sign up for this help forum some time back. Even if I * fact * enter it in the area of the accident at some point in the past (it is very possible that happened and I just forgot), I still don't understand how it is stored. I delete cookies whenever I close the browser. (I use Ccleaner and have selected the cookies set to 'save', but Firefox and Mozilla are * not * among the "keep cookies".) Is it stored in my profile once manually entered in a crash report? If so, how can I remove it? This question is more about curiosity than ' concern. "Thank you.

  • Satellite T130 - 10G: Firefox does not read any video or flash content more

    My Firefox does not read any video or flash content more. And in watching the news of repair troubleshooting/malfunction in Firefox under graphics, he said that "Direct2D activated" and 'WebGL Renderer' have been blocked because of the version of the graphics driver.

    I downloaded a new version on the Toshiba site, but an update of the driver can not find the new version.
    I had briefly solved the problem by installing the new driver from the file but it is not recognized in Device Manager.

    Automatic update through Windows just tells me that the driver is up-to-date.
    I have the Satellite T130 - 10G.

    Would be great if someone could help.

    Thank you!

    Hmmmm... as you know Toshiba doesn't support third party software so I think that your question has nothing to do with Toshiba directly.

    You find the same content with other browsers?

  • Oracle Read-Ahead: not the same as looking forward, Yes?

    Hello

    I tried to understand the systems Oracle Read-Ahead, and I think I understand how it works, but I would like to say that I'm not mistaken.


    What I managed to understand in the Oracle documentation, the Oracle read-ahead mechanism is especially used for sequential access to data blocks. For example, to perform operations such as table scans.

    In this case, Oracle will for example use a physical operation called scattered read.
    Read the straggling, in turn, is configured in the ini. ORA parameter a name like db_multiblock_read_count. A multiblock read count of 60, will make the scattered read read operation 60 blocks of sequential data from the drive, starting with the data block that was requested in the operation.

    From what I understand, this is the basis of the read-ahead mechanism. It is use mult block transactions reading data rather than the simple operations of bock.

    If what I've said so far is correct. There are two things I'd like to know:

    1.
    These 60 blocks read by the read sctarred. They go directly into the database buffer cache? Or are they loaded everything first in to a lower level cache, as a scattered read cache?

    For example, if the table scan requested page 1. And the read operation recovered scattered pages from database 1 to 60. I guess that this single page 1 would be transferred to the buffer cache. More later when the requested table to page 2 scan, the cache buffers would recover the scattered read cache this page in the buffer cache. Or is it completely wrong? And when scattered reading gets 1 to 60 pages. It automatically transforms the data pages in the buffer cache in random positions of the main buffer?


    2.
    With Oracle read-ahead, table scans and other such physical operations always incur straggling expected read periodically. For example, every 60 pages, scanning table facing in another scattered read wait OK?

    3.
    Read-ahead in oracle anticipates a physical operator database page needs a specific point in time, Yes? The following does not occur:
    While the analysis of the table is currently on page 50, with another 10 pages more left in the database buffer, background processes decides it's a good idea ask to get another 50 pages of data yet. So that the thread of forground treatment table scan never has a stop in reading e/s.

    It is of to future research, and it is not a function of Oracle, is it?

    Thank you for your understanding.

    -------------------

    I did a few tests where, although the size of the table to a data transformations are still the same (1 GB) but the time I take to make my exit from the source table varies. The processing time for each record has increased considerably from one test to the next. But I noticed that the time-out of the transformation of data remains constant, although the time cpu increases considerably. The increase in time CPU means that the extraction of time until that next buffer was reduced, which would give more time for the system to look forward. Eventally I could have done the time so much CPU, if read IO was executed in anticipation, that it would be possible for PLAYBACK of theortically waiting time at 0. I know is not going to happen. So I had just be certain of how early reading works.


    My best regards.

    Don't know if you wanted to read several blocks at the same time or the features of the cache before reading provided by some storage devices. But it seems to me you speak CRBM (Multiblock read County) and no cache of early reading provided by storage vendors.

    If what I've said so far is correct. There are two things I'd like to know:

    1.

And when scattered reading gets 1 to 60 pages. It automatically transforms the data pages in the buffer cache in random positions of the main buffer?

    If my MBRC is 60 and none of the blocks are in a buffer and size of the table is more than 60 blocks then together 60 blocks would be transferred to the buffer cache. There was nothing called scattered read cache in the architecture of Oracle.

    2.
    With Oracle read-ahead, table scans and other such physical operations always incur straggling expected read periodically. For example, every 60 pages, scanning table facing in another scattered read wait OK?

    Yes file db scattered read wait event would mean that an another physical i/o was instituted for the extraction of blocks next records.

    Yes, I don't think so it is a feature of Oracle, but provides some storage provider. It is also known as Read ahead.

    I am very impressed with this mozilla support. For one I got this detail section filled completely and communication it was not accepted when I pressed the button question post...! Half an hour to write these to the top... GO?

    Other than that how does one choose what to synchronize with (in my case, Safari also can a sync for firefox 'cloud' there to prepare for a clean reinstall? And where would progress & achievement shown?

    Sync does not support cross-browser. I have working installation of Firefox Firefox installation only, with the synchronization server in the middle.

    The use of the term 'cloud' could be misleading; the data are encrypted and are decrypted in Firefox to be usable. Without the correct hidden 'key' [created from the password] data can not be decrypted and Sync does not connect to attempt to recover the data of the user.

    Not recommended to use Sync as a backup media for a clean reinstall of the OS. Some users have done the job, while many others have involuntarily lost their data because of stupid mistakes, they did, and wrong to understand how works the synchronization service.

  • How does the Daubechies Wavelet - 4 VI actually work?

    Hello

    I'm a student working on my final year project, one of the objectives is to detect the peaks of the ECG (R - pics) signals using the Daubechies Wavelet - 4 VI in LabVIEW. I am current using 2013 LabVIEW student edition (6 months trail), if that makes a difference.

    I'm quite confused on the wavelet of Daubechies-4 works:

    (1) levels how it decompose the signal in?

    (2) is there a way to adjust the level of decomposition?

    (3) are already applied in the VI filters or do I really need to design a filter myself?

    (4) what is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transformation in terms of LabVIEW?

    (5) Finally, how the VI actually superimposed on the signal Wavelet? Should the entire signal into account or should I take each pulse into consideration when the superposition of the wavelet?

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Kind regards

    Karine

    Hi Karine,.

    I was absent for the whole of last week, so I only read your answer today.

    The Wavelet Transform Daubechies4.vi you mentioned is indeed already included in LabVIEW (minimum full version, which is what offers Student Edition). From what I see, it's a very simple implementation of the transformation that the VI I mentioned in my post above. To better understand how it works, read first to the top of its help file (use ctrl + h), then open the VI by double-clicking on it to see the block diagram. From there, you will see that this VI essentially multiplication of matrix of coefficients db4 to the signal. That being said, we can go back to your questions:

    1. level of decomposition

    We see on the block diagram it's code to be a number such as recursively signal can be decomposed again by 2, for example signal length of 8 will have 2 iterations. You can change this setting by simply copying the pattern-block away and customize your VI, as long as you know what you are doing.

    2. the filters

    These are already applied in the VI as coefficients has explained in the help file and as seen in the block diagram.

    3 difference with his release Point by Point (PtByPt)

    They work in a similar way, but the calculation is done differently. The normal version uses the analysis based on the Bay and so buffering, then the analysis point by point is a new paradigm where input-output analysis is done continuously in real time. This is necessary for the deterministic real-time high-speed systems. If you open the VI, you can see that at the heart of it, it uses normal Wavelet VI for the análsis but bounded by a few functions to handle the case point by point. For more details, see the help of LabVIEW (ctrl +?) and read the analysis Point by Point.

    Finally, the Wavelet Transform Daubechies4.vi takes the entire signal into account, as can be seen in its block diagram.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • How does the online Flash Player Settings Manager?

    That's one thing, I've always been curious to know: How does the Flash Player Settings Manager ?

    It's a UI SWF running in a regular reader of Flash, but there obviously access to all kinds of Flash Player settings low level, a typical SWF is not.

    My first guess is that the user interface is in fact built into Flash Player, but then why would you go to visit a website to see? The SWF file is actually be served by the site Web and Flash Player's trust to the Web site to access a low level player not made public API?

    As a Flash developer for many years I've just been curious about this for a long time. Now that the Manager is obsolete by the construction in the settings (which is a lot less mysterious) Manager, I thought I would ask before it is completely forgotten.

    Yes, the SWF is imbued with special powers, which are linked to the domain that sovereign wealth funds are served from.  The settings are basically just special LSO.
