Abstract

Demand-paging memory-management systems usually work with pages of fixed size. This is a limitation in systems relying on hierarchies of pagers to build layers of abstract machines. A generalized scheme is presented that allows for pages of flexible sizes and for multiple pages to be mapped within a single page-fault operation. Performance measurements (microbenchmarks) of a prototype implementation are presented.
