Memory Management in Symunix II (Classic Reprint): A Design for Large-Scale Shared Memory Multiprocessors: A Design for Large-Scale Shared Memory Multiprocessors (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Explore how Symunix II designs a memory management system for large parallel computers. This book explains how shared and private memory are handled, how image files back a process image, and how a flexible, low-level interface supports complex parallel workloads.
In this work, the author details a UNIX-based memory model that integrates file mapping, image-backed memory, and user-mode address space management. It emphasizes portability, performance, and the needs of large-scale MIMD systems, with concrete discussions of machines like Ultra II, RP3, and the IBM RT PC. The text highlights design choices that balance shared memory capabilities with per-process privacy and the role of the file system as a backing store for the entire process image.
- Learn how shared memory can be provided beyond fork, including inheritance, file mapping, and inter-family sharing
- See how memory regions are described, allocated, and managed with a flexible kernel interface
- Understand image-file backed memory, lazy file creation, and performance tricks for caching and I/O
- Discover how user-mode address space management enables diverse parallel programming environments
Ideal for readers interested in operating system design, parallel processing, and memory management on large shared-memory systems.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Memory Management in Symunix II: A Design for Large-Scale Shared Memory Multiprocessors
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 outlines the parallel pro cessing requirements that most influenced the design. Section 3 describes the user's memory model and the system interface. Some aspects of the internal design, including performance issues, are presented in Section 4. The concluding Section 5 gives a status report.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delineates a memory management design for large-scale shared memory multiprocessors in anticipation of software requirements for very large-scale shared memory machines containing thousands of processors. Symunix II, a BSD UNIX-compatible operating system, is the primary focus. The author details the design by focusing on a number of significant respects, in particular, in the integration of features. The file system serves as backing store for the entire process image (as in Sprite), and file mapping is the only means by which a process may obtain memory. The apparent performance penalties are mitigated through use of several devices and optimizations, while library packages provide a compatible easy-to-use interface. The author presents novel features to support large-scale parallel computing, such as dynamically allocating shared memory by a process of an existing family, and sharing memory via file mapping and the file system name space. The insights on Symunix II offer a glimpse into the future of memory management for parallel processing, making this book an essential read for computer scientists and software engineers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
