ABSTRACT:
A virtual machine system having a virtual storage function, wherein registers are provided for holding the heading and trailing addresses of the continuous area in the main storage area assigned respectively for each of the plural operating systems. When the main storage area is accessed by a channel or sub-channel, one of the registers is selected, and the heading address of the register selected is added to the main storage address sent from the channel or sub-channel. The added main storage address is compared with the trailing address in the selected register and if the former is smaller than the latter, the overhead for supporting the virtual storage area is reduced by accessing the main storage area in accordance with the added main storage address mentioned above.
