[comp.os.misc] DOS Object Management

endrizzi@umn-cs.CS.UMN.EDU (Michael J. Endrizzi) (12/15/89)

Hello people. i am looking for the latest
and greatest for Multics/Mach type Object
Management for DOS.  Reference or proceedings will
do.

The question I am asking in my mind is
2 processes can communicate over shared
memory on a single machine, what is 
preventing them from sharing memory
TRANSPARENTLY on a distributed machine.

A couple of answers floating around in
my mind is that networks have no conept
of Read Modify Write cycles, MMU does 
not make referenced  location visible outside
of local machine  so OS's are forced to
write through caches with page boundaries.
In the end a user cannot just simply reference
a specified memory address that is shared
acros machines. The user is forced to perform
some sort of SEND or RECEIVE.

			Thanks,
				Dreez
