Abstract
When designing virtual machine systems memory management becomes a problem because the virtual machines must be kept from handling physical addresses. A method is proposed that neither needs much hardware nor does it produce software overhead. This method consists in a set of access functions that are implemented as privileged machine instructions. These instructions are described and their usage is demonstrated using a characteristic example. The implications of the access functions on real machine operation and reconfiguration are outlined and the possible limitations of this approach are discussed.
