The integration of virtual memory management and interprocess communication in Accent

The integration of virtual memory management and interprocess communication in the Accent network operating system kernel is examined. The design and implementation of the Accent memory management system is discussed and its performance, both on a series of message-oriented benchmarks and in normal operation, is analyzed in detail.
