Re: Paging file

Troy

A significant result of Single Level Store compared with something like
a PC Paging File is that an Object is given one set of Virtual Addresses
for
it's life(longer)  when it is created.

This means that two different processes "branch" to the same address for an
object inherently.  Inherent Object Code sharing.

Turn power off,   Turn Power On

Same Virtual Address for the Object.

(if Object is destroyed, It's addresses are automatically
voided from any future use.  (cuts down on some kinds of Viruses)

PC, Unix, Mainframe,   Power Off, Power On = New set of virtual addresses.

I believe It's not a normal Paging File architecture.
