shared memory on hpux

Shivkumar — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 22:00:59 GMT

Was shared memory concept introduced in HPUX with the introduction of SMP systems or it was present since the begining ?

Shared memory was introduced into UNIX before there was HP-UX; HP-UX merely used what was already there.

Hi Shiv,

Shared memory is generic unix concept and it is not invented by HP. So, HP-UX uses shared memory from the past as of other Unix OS.

Hi Shiv,

If you want to know about Kernel parameters related with Shared memory, Take a look at this page, http://docs.hp.com/en/939/KCParms/KCparam.ShMemParmsOverview.html
