The Matrix takes me to estrange roads

05/28/2009

The "Multi-Dimensional Matrix" has taken me to a series of concepts that I truly like. Those are:

- Kernel as a privileged process (not the ubiquitous God)
- Paging as the only way to address physical memory
- Super-Linear space
- Kernel addressing the Matrix in Super-Linear space.

These ideas are indeed "suspicious" since they are not present in real-life systems (as long as I know). I wanted to explore them in dept, however, because as per today they make perfect sense to me, so why to discard them?

Nevertheless, must likely I will design the CPU so Paging can be disabled. After all, I won't be able to experiment with software until the hardware is there so it's better to have all possible choices available.
