Older buildings on the MMU Cheshire Alsager campus

The University has already moved the work of the Alsager campus to Crewe and rebranded this campus MMU Cheshire.

The Institute of Education is based on two campuses, Didsbury in Manchester and MMU Cheshire at Crewe in Cheshire.

* MMU Cheshire

The University absorbed the former Crewe & Alsager College of Higher Education, forming the Crewe and Alsager Faculty, now renamed MMU Cheshire.

There is an LC ( Low-Cost ) version, without an FPU and EC ( Embedded Controller ), without MMU and FPU.

Trying to access an undefined virtual memory address is generally considered to be a segmentation fault rather than a bus error, though if the MMU is separate, the processor can't tell the difference.

" DAT " is now more commonly referred to as an MMU.

Manchester Metropolitan University ( MMU ) is a British university located in North West England.

In many modern CPUs, the protection of the memory that hosts the TCB is achieved by adding in a specialized piece of hardware called the memory management unit ( MMU ), which is programmable by the operating system to allow and deny access to specific ranges of the system memory to the programs being run.

Another reason is that the hardware they evolved on initially shipped with minimal amounts of computer memory — 4-8 kilobytes was standard on early home computers — as well as 8-bit processors without specialized support circuitry like a MMU or even a dedicated real-time clock.

* There is no equivalent to the x86 CPUID instruction to determine what CPU or MMU or FPU is present.

This is not quite the issue it might seem, as the transputer's stack-based architecture makes an MMU less important.

A memory management unit ( MMU ), sometimes called paged memory management unit ( PMMU ), is a computer hardware component responsible for handling accesses to memory requested by the CPU.

A key benefit of an MMU is memory protection: an OS can use it to protect against errant programs, by disallowing access to memory that a particular program should not have access to.

The VAX MMU is notable for lacking an accessed bit.

Thus the MMU is extremely complex, with many different possible operating modes.

Segment registers, fundamental to the older 8088 and 80286 MMU designs, are not used in modern OSes with one major exception: access to thread-specific data for applications or CPU-specific data for OS kernels, which is done with explicit use of the FS and GS segment registers.

To understand the functionality provided by an MMU, it is instructive to study a counter example of a system that achieves this functionality by other means.

The MCP system is inherently secure and thus has no need of an MMU to provide this level of memory protection.

One difference between the Mac II and the Mac LC is the latter had no socket for a 68851 MMU, therefore it could not take advantage of System 7's virtual memory features.

The Manned Maneuvering Unit ( MMU ) is an astronaut propulsion unit which was used by NASA on three space shuttle missions in 1984.

The English Cycling Team is based on the MMU campus.

The MMU Sport Science Department is highly regarded and the Italian and Portuguese Football Teams trained there during the 1996 European Football Championship.

When data is written to these pages, the MMU raises an exception which is handled by the kernel, which allocates new space in physical memory and makes the page being written correspond to that new location in physical memory.

The Nova 4 / X had the on-board memory management unit ( MMU ) enabled to allow up to 128 kWords of memory to be used ( the MMU was also installed in the Nova 4 / S, but was disabled by firmware ).

The MMU also provided protection from ( crashed or ill-behaved ) applications writing outside their allocated memory zones.

The R3000 also included a built-in MMU, a common feature on CPUs of the era.

It also has an on-chip MMU ( memory management unit ) but does not have a built in FPU ( floating point unit ).

A lower cost version of the 68030, the Motorola 68EC030, was also released, lacking the on-chip MMU.

The integration of the MMU made it more cost-effective than the 68020 with an external MMU ; it also allowed the 68030 to access memory one cycle faster than a 68020 / 68851 combo.

" There was also a new NS32382 MMU, NS32381 FPU and the ( very rare ) NS32310 interface to a Weitek FPA.

The CPU was also superscalar and included 16 kB ( 16 KB ) instruction and data caches, and an MMU for virtual memory support.

An MMU also reduces the problem of fragmentation of memory.

It was instruction compatible with their existing Z80, and differed primarily in having on chip cache and MMU for a 16 MB address range, and also a huge number of new more orthogonal instructions and addressing modes.

The Arts Centre has also moved to the MMU campus in Crewe, and has been renamed the Axis Arts Centre.

PIC was also used on older computer systems lacking an MMU, so that the operating system could keep applications away from each other even within the single address space of an MMU-less system.

In this case, the memory management unit alerts the operating system ; on IA-32, the MMU typically has separate TLB caches for execution ( ITLB ) and read / write ( DTLB ), so this fault also allows Linux and PaX to determine whether the program was trying to execute the page as code.

The FOCUS architecture ( Focus CPU, Focus I / O processor ( IOP ), Focus memory controller ( MMU ), 16Kx8 dynamic RAM, and a timer ) was used in the Hewlett-Packard HP 9000 Series 500 workstations and servers ( originally launched as the HP 9020 and also, unofficially, called HP 9000 Series 600 ).
