Abstract :
In today´s operating system, memory management policies based on the data-copying and hidden mechanisms blocks the system performance which is far from expectation. This paper introduces an innovative memory management system powered by vertical architecture PVM. The paper first describes the model and architecture of PVM, followed by an analysis of lazy management of virtual address space and the management of two-layer-cached physical memory
