A Comparison of the Memory Management sub-systems in FreeBSD and Linux

In this article we seek to compare the memory management subsystems of two popular and freely available operating systems-FreeBSD and Linux. First a framework is developed, spelling out the components of a generic and modern memory management system. The framework is then used in a design level comparison of memory management in the two operating systems.
