+Processes</title><shortdesc>A fixed process is a process in which its chunks always reside
+at the same linear address - their home address; only their access permissions
+are modified during a context switch. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The usual re-mapping from the data section to the home section is not done
+and greatly improves performance.</p>
+<p>Fixed processes do not see the virtual machine model; each process must
+have its data at a different linear address. It is, therefore, not possible
+to run multiple copies of a fixed process.</p>
+<p>Fixed processes are suitable only for system server processes such as the
+file server, window server etc. since the majority of context switches involve
+these processes.</p>
