5442.8locked-down memory ????XFMV01::AJITKThu Feb 06 1997 01:279
Hi

The paper mentions that though virtual addressing is used, it
has to be backed by locked-down physical memory. What does this
mean ??

Thanks in advance.

    The VLM virtual address space is not paged.  If your application
    requires more VLM space than is available in physical memory, your
    application has to manage the space itself.
    
    Oracle and MS SQL already do this type of activity in process adress
    space today, so do not view this as a detraction. They view it as a
    practical reality. Purists may not view it the same way.
