Addressing Mechanisms and Persistent Programming
  • W. Cockshott
  • Computer Science
    Data Types and Persistence , Informal Proceedings
  • 1985
TLDR
The question of addressing mechanisms is at the basis of all implementations of persistent programming, and what different forms of addressing can be used to support persistence.
A Survey of Architectures for Memory Resident Databases
TLDR
An examination of four well known designs of persistent object oriented architectures and a discussion concerning the ideal persistent architecture is presented, suggesting design decisions which should be considered in any future persistent architecture.
DAIS: An Object-Addressed Processor Cache
TLDR
This paper begins with a justification of the method by which objects are accessed in the DAIS design, and then goes on to describe the hardware caching mechanisms to efficiently support it.
An object-based processor cache.
TLDR
The object-based caching mechanism of DAIS is described, involving topics such as object protection via tag bits, object- and page-based locking, range checking, object to virtual mapping function, and use of a secondary descriptor cache, which results in a processor which is no slower than conventional processors based on virtual memory.
Data Types and Persistence
TLDR
The following is a brief account of how various models of abstraction and persistence interact, including a simple polymorphic language and its types and various ways of modeling type abstraction in such a language.

IBM System/38 support for capability-based addressing
TLDR
The IBM System/38 provides capability-based addressing and support is divided among architectural definition, microcode, and hardware to minimize overhead for this function.

TLDR
This paper describes the addressing mechanism, basic data organization and process structure of the System/38 and describes of security in the architecture and how it can be extended.
The structure of the “THE”-multiprogramming system
TLDR
A multiprogramming system is described in which all activities are divided over a number of sequential processes, in each of which one or more independent abstractions have been implemented.
Microprogramming: A Tutorial and Survey of Recent Developments
TLDR
This tutorial defines basic concepts and gives a simple example of machine language interpretation, and describes the characteristics of microprogrammed machines, which provide the background for an examination of microProgrammable bit slice microprocessors.
