Abstract :
Object-based operating systems have the desirable property of separating policies from mechanisms while providing a protected procedure call interface for accessing system services. However, the kernel mechanisms in such systems rely very heavily on efficient memory management. A set of criteria for supporting the kernel mechanisms in object-based systems is presented. The design of a simple MMU (memory management unit) tailored for object-based systems is presented. The proposed design is an engineering solution combining the features available in commercial MMUs
