No late submissions are accepted on this assignment (except for OAE accommodations or granted extensions). The deadline is firm without exception. Original assignment by David Mazières and John Ousterhout, with modifications by Nick Troccoli. In this project, you'll have a chance to implement the core components of a virtual memory system using demand paging. You'll maintain a per-process page map, map virtual pages to physical pages, and swap physical pages to disk if physical memory fills up. Normally, code like this would be written inside the operating system kernel. For this project, we have used the Linux mmap facility to simulate features that are typically available in the kernel (such as page faults), so you can write your code at user level. (Note: you may assume that your code is used only in single-threaded environments; you do not need to worry about synchronization for this project.) This spec is long, but its length is due to the detail with which it walks you through th
