Title: A model for user-level memory management in a distributed, persistent environment
Author/Creator: Lindström, Anders; Dearle, Alan; di Bona, Rex; Farrow, J. Matthew; Henskens, Frans; Rosenberg, John; Vaughan, Francis
Description: The Grasshopper operating system provides a flexible environment for conducting research into orthogonal persistence. In particular, it allows user-level software to perform memory management so that new techniques may be investigated without having to modify or even reboot the kernel. We describe the facilities provided to support this and show how they are used by both the kernel and user-level software.
