ABSTRACT:
Hardware and software improvements in workstations which utilize virtual addressing in multi-user operating systems with write back caches, including operating systems which allow each user to have multiple active processes. In virtual addressing, multi-user workstations, system performance may be improved significantly by including a virtual address write back cache as one of the system elements. Data protection and the reassignment of virtual addresses are supported within such a system as well. Multiple active processes, each with its own virtual address space, and an operating system shared by those processes in a manner which is invisible to user programs. Cache "Flush" logic is used to remove selected blocks from the virtual cache when virtual addresses are to be reassigned.
