The Development of a Partitioned Segmented Memory Manager for the UNIX Operating System

Abstract

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.
