Abstract
Memory and processing required for managing virtual memory segments is reduced by overloading the existing page table entries in a virtual memory page table to encode virtual memory segmentation data. Therefore, no additional data structures are required for virtual memory segment management. Virtual memory segmentation information is stored in the actual page table entries, using bits that are reserved as unused for the given computer architecture to identify the virtual memory segment management information.
