Abstract
The VMX host machine is a hardware-firmware environment for implementation of actual computer systems with a favorable price performance ratio. The article presents the host framework architecture, together with all units which are used to build actual systems. The advantages and future potential of the architecture is briefly discussed. The notion of memory directives within the frame-work of an active (or “intelligent”) memory unit is introduced. This notion serves as one example of the possibilities that are built into the architecture of the VMX host.
