Abstract: We describe an operating system design for multiprocessor systems called Angel, based on a single, coherent, uniform virtual address space. This unifies naming and interprocess communication in both shared and distributed memory multiprocessors by using distributed shared memory techniques when shared memory is not already provided by the hardware. The design is motivated by analysis of our earlier operating system implementation, based on message passing, and we show how the uniform address... (Update)

...when references are exchanged between nodes. Most distributed shared memory systems that are not implemented as SAS operating systems [18], 19] 20] 21] do not map the complete memory of all nodes into a single virtual address space. They rather provide means to map...

...This feature has been implemented for example in the distributed operating system Angel supporting single address space. For more details see [4] [5], 7] I assume that interprocess communication is negligible and processes are independent from each other. 32 MEMORY SHARED...
