Abstract :
The authors propose the concept of no address space operating system, discuss one of its implementation prototypes, and analyze its advantages as well as its disadvantages. We believe that the concept of process virtual address space should be canceled in operating systems, instructions should access files directly, and processes should run on files. Compared with traditional operating systems, the no address space operating system has many advantages, such as single file space, single data storage model, the separation of data storage and data computation, implementation of distributed shared memory and distributed file system, as well as their integration.
