Explore the Linux Memory Model

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday January 25, 2006 @09:07AM from the building-from-the-ground-up dept.

Constable On Patrol writes to tell us that IBM DeveloperWorks has an interesting look at the 'fundamentals of how memory is constructed and managed' in the Linux memory module. The article serves as a great intro to the basics of memory management for Linux design and implementation. From the article: "This guide includes an examination of the segment control unit and the paging models as well as a detailed look at the physical memory zone."
