# SuperVM System Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document contains descriptions of the SuperVM host system which
|
||
|
|
utilized a SPU Mark I to execute code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Executable Program Format EXP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SuperVM uses a simple format for storing its executables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The format is an archive which stores key-value-pairs for configuration
|
||
|
|
and sections containing code or data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sections
|
||
|
|
A section can be either code or data and has a defined memory position and length.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## System Memory
|
||
|
|
SuperVM provides access to up to 4 GBs of RAM with the x86 paging concept:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The memory is organized in page tables and a page directories. The directory
|
||
|
|
contains pointers to a page table which then contains the pointers to 4096 byte
|
||
|
|
large pages.
