Abstract:
1. A method for managing memory, comprising: storing on a non-linearly addressable memory device, a software component comprising a set of computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions are fixed to be executed from a predefined memory location wherein storing the software component includes taking the computer-executable instructions and placing them in a particular memory location, wherein the instructions are placed in physically contiguous regions of the non-linearly addressable memory; loading the set of computer-executable instructions into a linearly addressable memory device using a file system when at least one of the computer-executable instructions is fetched by a processor wherein the instructions are placed in arbitrary regions of the non-linearly addressable memory; and scanning the non-linearly addressable memory for the instructions by examining the headers of the instructions before loading them into the linearly addressable memory.
