  abstract =     "The OpenVMS operating system recently extended its
                 32-bit virtual address space to exploit the Alpha
                 processor's 64-bit virtual addressing capacity while
                 ensuring binary compatibility for 32- bit nonprivileged
                 programs. This 64-bit technology is now available both
                 to OpenVMS users and to the operating system itself.
                 Extending the virtual address space is a fundamental
                 evolutionary step for the OpenVMS operating system,
                 which has existed within the bounds of a 32-bit address
                 space for nearly 20 years. We chose an asymmetric
                 division of virtual address extension that allocates
                 the majority of the address space to applications by
                 minimizing the address space devoted to the kernel.
                 Significant scaling issues arose with respect to the
                 kernel that dictated a different approach to page table
                 residency within the OpenVMS address space. The paper
                 discusses key scaling issues, their solutions, and the
                 resulting layout of the 64-bit virtual address space.",
