Computer memory system

摘要

A computer memory system for use with a user processor provides automatic memory operations independently of the user processor. The memory system includes a logical memory system which is accessed by the user processor through a binding register unit, enabling the user processor to allocate blocks and specify the length of the blocks. Data within the blocks can also be specified by the user by relative indexing with respect to a block specifier in the binding register unit. The user cannot access the memory directly, but must access the memory through the binding registers. The logical memory system is controlled by a separate memory management unit which manages the physical memory of the system and which manages the memory to have the logical memory system appearance to the user processor.
