ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The transputer virtual memory system provide, for the transputer without memory management primitives, a viable virtual memory system. This report evaluates the architecture and its parameters. The basic software is also implemented a.nd described. The disk subsystem with software and hard",,'are is also evaluated in a single disk environment. It is shown that the unique features of the TVM system has advantages and disadvantages when compared to conventional virtual memory systems. One of the advantages is that a conventional operating system with memory protection can now also be implemented on the transputer. The main conclusion is that this is a performance effective implementation of a virtual memory system with unique features that should be exploited further.
