IBM went all the way with this in the AS/400 back in the 80's. Single level store - RAM and disk were unified storage. with no ability for a programmer to tell the difference (RAM was purely and operations problem).
- sedachv 12y agoThe single-level store started with Soltis' System/38 in the 1970s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/38 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/38 I really recommend Frank Soltis' Inside the AS/400 if you are interested in computer architecture and virtualization.
