The transputer virtual memory system

Description

Thesis (MIng.)--Stellenbosch University, 1990. / 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. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die transputer virtuele geheue verskaf, vir 'n verwerker sander
virtuele geheue ondersteuning, 'n doeltreffende virtuele geheue
stelsel. Die verslag evalueer die argitektuur en sy parameters.
Die skyfsubstelsel met programmatuur en apparatuur word ook geevalueer
in 'n enkel skyfkoppelvlak omgewing.
Daar word bewys dat die upieke eienskappe van die TVG (transputer
virtuele geheue) voor- en nadele besit wanneer dit vElrgelyk word
met konvensionele virtuele geheue stelsels. Een van die voordele
is dat 'n konvensionele bedryfstelsel met geheue beskerming nou
op 'n transputer ge-implementeer kan word. Die hoofnadeel agv
die spesifieke argitektuur gee slegs 'n 15% degradering in
werkverrigting. Dit word egter slegs oar 'n sekere datagrootte
ervaar en kom tipies nie ter sprake wanneer daar massiewe
programme geloop word nie.
