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

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

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
