A MULTI-PROCESS DESIGN OF PAGING SYSTEM

This report is a minor revision of a theis of the same title submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineerin 8 and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on May 19, 1976 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Master of Science and Electrical Engineer. I wish to thank my advisor, Dave Clark, for his patience in what has been a rather protracted effort. The original idea for this thesis is due to him. Three people were of great help to me in implementing the design presented in this thesis: Bernie Greenberg explained many of the mysteries of Multics page control and gladly contributed his time, knowledge and enthusiasm. Bob Mabee implemented some of the code necessary to permit page control to be implemented on Multics as parallel processes, and helped in getting the design working on Multics. Doug Wells was expert at finding my programming errors and explaining the pitfalls of PL/1. Without their help, I would still be debugging. Many other members of the Computer System Research Division contributed in ways too numerous to mention
