In last fall's IEEE Computer Design Conference an interesting paper was presented which described the design criteria for good MMU support of Object-based Systems. These criteria point to Inverted Page Tables, and software TLB reloading. The HP-PA and IBM RT are the best fit, although it appears that you need more segments, so that you can assign a segment to an object. (Of course, 64 bit addresses are a nice way to do this, although they didn't take this approach :-) The paper is: "A Design of a Memory Management Unit for Object-based Systems" by U. Tamachandran and M. Khalidi Hugh LaMaster, m/s 233-9, UUCP ames!lamaster NASA Ames Research Center ARPA lamaster@ames.arc.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035 Phone: (415)604-6117
