The development of a partitioned segmented memory manager for the UNIX operating system.
Harvey William Emery · Calhoun: The Naval Postgraduate School Institutional Archive (Naval Postgraduate School) · 1976
This thesis reports the results of an investigation of the applicability of paging and segmentation to memory management in modified UNIX operating systems on the PDP-11/50 minicomputer system at the Naval Postgraduate School Signal Processing and Display Laboratory. Two memory managers are specifically considered: a partitioned segmented memory manager that was designed and implemented; and a simpler, segmented memory manager that was designed based on the performance of the partitioned segmented memory manager. Recommendations are given for future work.
