| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The essential overhead of an operating system is "copy", which includes data copying between memories and data input / output between memory and an external storage device. In addition to the essential feature that "stored data is not lost even when the power is turned off", the non-volatile memory has "high reading speed" and "access unit is bytes" like the volatile memory. On the other hand, the load-module program has the property that "the text part is read only and the data part is read and written". Therefore, in this research, taking advantage of these features and properties, a new file format for load-module programs was devised and a new mechanism to reduce data copying was realized, and a high-speed program execution control method was established.
