  • Abstract
    The authors describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Mach virtual-memory management system. The Mach virtual-memory system exhibits architecture independence, multiprocessor and distributed system support, and advanced functionality. The performance of this virtual-memory system is shown to often exceed that of commercially developed memory management systems targeted at specific hardware architectures
