ABSTRACT:
A virtual memory system for a computer employs decentralized management of secondary storage media. The caching of data obtained from secondary storage is controlled by software management entities that lie outside of the operating system. These entities communicate with the operating system through a message-based interface relationship. With the decentralized approach, the operating system can remain relatively simple, while specific backing store management entity modules can be tailored to accommodate new types of hardware and data organization.
