A Comparison of the Memory Management sub-systems in FreeBSD and Linux
Abstract
In this article we seek to compare the memory management sub-systems 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.
