Single Address Space OSs - papers

| These OS projects are concentrating on 64 bit address spaces on
| 64 bit CPUs but should provide insights for LispOS nevertheless.

Although the Sombrero page above has a pointer to it, I would
like to call particular attention to the Grasshopper OS project:
<http://www.psrg.cs.usyd.edu.au/Grasshopper/Papers/Papers.html>.

They have developed some excellent and very general abstractions
for dealing with SAS/persistent OS issues. They have also given
some attention to the need to execute "conventional" Unix-style
programs (with their associated memory structures) within their
OS model. Check out:
