OpenVMS Alpha Internals and Data Structures: Memory Management is an updateto selected parts of the book OpenVMS AXP Internals and Data Structures Version 1.5 (Digital Press, 1994). This book covers the extensions to the memory management subsystem of OpenVMS Alpha to allow the operating system and applications to access 64 bits of address space. It emphasizes system data structures and their manipulation by paging and swapping routines and related system services.It also describes management of dynamic memory, such as nonpaged pool, and support for nonuniform memory access (NU
