Hi: Is any command faster than
cat filename to reach and print on screen the last page of the file? The question (i hope) is not outside amd64 as such large files as 10GB can only result from computations at 64 bit. The scope is following the progress of the computational procedure; the command "cat filename" takes hours to print the end of the file. At least so when all memory (24GB) is taken by the diagonalization of matrix, while the hamiltonian is stored out of memory (10GB). thanks francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
