Abstract:The SWARD architecture, an experimental higher-level architecture, contains the naming and protection concept of capability-based addressing. After discussing the merits of capability-based addressing, its general representation in the SWARD architecture is discussed. The initial representation of capability-based addressing in the architecture led to a set of problems; these problems are described, as well as their solutions. Finally, the implementation of capabilities by the processor is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
