Software methods for virtual storage of executable code
Peter J. B. Brown · The Computer Journal · 1979
Virtual storage systems were originally based on swapping to and from a disc or drum. More recently, however, the same techniques have been used in new areas, where the constraints imposed by electro-mechanical devices do not apply. This necessitates a fresh evaluation of storage management strategies. An area where new strategies may reap specially good rewards is the management of code areas by software.
