Abstract
The Virtual Memory Xinu Project investigates a new model of virtual
memory in which dedicated, large-memory machines serve as a backing
store (page servers) for virtual memory systems operating on a set
of (heterogeneous) clients. The dedicated page server allows sharing
of the large physical memory resource and provides fast access to
data.
This paper gives a brief overview of the Virtual Memory Xinu research
project. It outlines the new virtual memory model used, the project's
goals, and prototype design and implementation.
