OpenVMS Alpha Internals and Data Structures: Memory Management
Ruth Goldenberg
2002

<quote>
OpenVMS Alpha Internals and Data Structures: Memory Management is an update
to 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 (NUMA) platforms.
