Abstract:

This document describes dm_phys, a dataspace manager for physical random-access memory within the experimental L4/SawMill operating system environment. The study thesis includes a brief introduction to SawMill's dataspace model and an overview of existing memory allocation and release strategies. Furthermore, the principal design requirements and model constraints for dm_phys are considered, after which the design decisions used in dm_phy are discussed. Finally, implementation details as well as testing setup, results and interpretations are given.
