14:18:56beachebrasca: For CLOSOS, there is no file system because there are no files. So the only systems concerned with external memory are the paging system and the checkpointing system. So the primary memory can be seen as a cache for the secondary storage. The paging system is a pretty ordinary demand-paging system.
14:18:57beachThe preferred checkpointing system (described in section 6.2) may require an SSD for the "segment headers" which take up a small fraction of the total secondary storage. All the rest should be possible on either HDD or SSD.
17:25:08beachI agree that Hucleberry does not suggest the purpose.
17:26:51ebrascaI think clear comunication is more inportant than some fancy name.
17:28:35beachI think of cl-xyz as the name used for a library that provides Common Lisp bindings for a library named xyz written in a language other than Common Lisp.
17:29:56beachJust as I think of trivial-xyz as a library for unifying implementation-specific modules that are nevertheless widely used.
17:30:50ebrascaThere are many with this name type and they are not some bindings.
17:33:16beachAnyway, I need to go. It is my night to cook for my (admittedly small) family. I'll be back tomorrow as usual.
