So I'd like to be able to say "these areas of my file-system hold data

my disk with such irrelevant data, safe in the knowledge that if I ever
need this disk space it'll be automatically reclaimed.

System for Contributory Storage.


"TFS provides background tasks with large amounts of unreliable 
storage-all of the currently available space-without impacting the 
performance of ordinary file access operations."

It's intended for P2P but I could imagine using it for caches.

Hi,
can anybody help out? I don't have access to Intel 64 bit CPUs and need
some microbenchmark results on Intel 64 bit. Usage guide for the
attached archive:
'ref' contains the current generic AES implementation
'new' contains the 64 bit AES assembler implementation
This is on a 3.6GHz Nocona:
