Design elements of the FreeBSD VM system

Since Version 3.0, OpenBSD uses NetBSD's UVM. The implementation differs though.

OpenBSD's UVM manual

NetBSD UVM site and the paper (270 pages, gzipped postscript)

Also note the UBC technology, a design for unifying the filesystem and virtual memory caches of file data, thereby providing increased system performance. In addition to the implementation of UBC, several changes were made to the existing UVM design to fix problems which were glossed over in the original design. Thus UVM differs slightly as described in the paper.
