under plan 9, don't we call those processes?
that doesn't sound like any imbedded environment i've worked in.
it's getting mighty fancy to have one set of pagetables. ;-)
You're cute, but I'm trying to be serious.
It's an odd question, I know.
well although i was being funny, the point was serious.
what you describe -- loci of execution with seperate address
spaces (page tables) are usually thought of as processes
in unix-like environments. i would suspect that csp
tools are available like send and recv?

I have a book teaching development of an OS via a non-UNIX variant
that also applies to the share-a-page-table rule. I doubt there is
any with broken rules - except ones with no idea of threads, in which
there would only be processes. Oh well, too many specifics for every
generalization.
