发明名称 Multiprocessor system implementing virtual memory using a shared memory, and a page replacement method for maintaining paged memory coherence
摘要 A computer system including a first processor, a second processor in communication with the first processor, a memory coupled to the first and second processors (i.e., a shared memory) and including multiple memory locations, and a storage device coupled to the first processor. The first and second processors implement virtual memory using the memory. The first processor maintains a first set of page tables and a second set of page tables in the memory. The first processor uses the first set of page tables to access the memory locations within the memory. The second processor uses the second set of page tables, maintained by the first processor, to access the memory locations within the memory. A virtual memory page replacement method is described for use in the computer system, wherein the virtual memory page replacement method is designed to help maintain paged memory coherence within the multiprocessor computer system.
