Using paging as the core mechanism to support virtual memory can lead tohighperformanceoverheads. Bychoppingtheaddressspaceintosmall, fixedsized units (i.e., pages), paging requires a large amount of mapping information. Because that mapping information is generally stored in physical memory, paging[r]

In developing the virtualization of the CPU, we focused on a general mechanism known as limited direct execution (or LDE). The idea behind LDE is simple: for the most part, let the program run directly on the hardware; however, at certain key points in time (such as when a process issues a system ca[r]

Before we end our study of virtual memory, let us take a closer look at one particularly clean and well done virtual memory manager, that found in the VAXVMS operating system LL82. In this note, we will discuss the system to illustrate how some of the concepts brought forth in earlier chapters toget[r]

In a virtual memory manager, life is easy when you have a lot of free memory. A page fault occurs, you find a free page on the freepage list, and assign it to the faulting page.

Introduction
Years ago, IBM sold expensive mainframes to large organizations, and a problem arose: what if the organization wanted to run different operating systems on the machine at the same time? Some applications had been developed on one OS, and some on others, and thus the problem. As a soluti[r]

Chapter 3 Process description and control, this chapter occasionally refers to virtual memory. Much of the time, we can ignore this concept in dealing with processes, but at certain points in the discussion, virtual memory considerations are pertinent.
