Memory Management Units (MMUs) are traditionally used by operating systems to implement disk-paged virtual memory. Some operating systems allow user programs to specify the protection level (inaccessible, readonly. read-write) of pages, and allow user programs t.o handle protection violations. bur. these mechanisms are not. always robust, efficient, or well-mat. ched to the needs of applications.
