ABSTRACT:
An operating system definition file (ODF) is provided for each operating system stored in a computer system. Each ODF contains a list of keywords that define the operating environment for the particular operating system. During setup, a set configuration program reads each ODF and produces a master record that specifies an ordering of non-system memory regions across all of the operating systems that coexist in the computer system, allowing non-system memory allocations to be made to regions that meet all operating system needs. A merge matrix is used to merge records from the ODFs into a common array allowing the records to be searched to find optimum non-system memory allocations. A memory address space topology table is also built by the set configuration program for use by the operating system during initialization and during allocation of memory.
