Abstract: A new virtual memory architecture for the Sun implementation of the UNIX+ operating system is described. Our goals included unifying and simplifying the concepts the system used to manage memory, as well as providing an implementation that fit well with the rest of the system. We discuss an architecture suitable for environments that (potentially) consist of systems of heterogeneous hardware and software architectures. The result is a page-based system in which the fundamental notion is that... (Update)

...or another, but there are considerable differences in how they go about it. The first operating system to address these problems was SunOS[4, 5], and UBC is largely modeled after this design. The main differences in the design of the SunOS cache and UBC result from the...
