Abstract
A personality operating system neutral pager manages the backing store of a microkernel data processing system, by interacting with any one of a variety of personality servers that provide a unique personality interface to a source of data for the system. By partitioning the backing storage management functions performed by the personality neutral pager from those personality unique functions performed by the personality servers, backing space can be flexibly managed in the memory of the microkernel system, independent of the eccentricities in the formats and interfaces imposed by diverse data sources such as magnetic disk drives, optical storage devices, distributed data processing networks, and telecommunications networks.
