OSTI ID:5257629
The Intel IAPX 286 is a microprocessor designed to address the needs of the next generation of multi-user and multitasking systems. The design goals of the processor were specifically targeted at providing very comprehensive memory management and protection while also significantly enhancing the performance of these systems. Virtual memory is supported in the system implementation via a combination of cpu facilities and software. The system software and user software share a common virtual address space which has a number of advantages: the os has clean and simple access to user data areas; the user maintains a simple call interface to the os; and access to interrupt service routines is direct and fast. Task protection and the fully integrated task switch capability are features also discussed.
