R2 | Number of fast free pages |
Claim pages into local map from free pages
opcode #1, claim pages into local map from free pages pass: r1=number of pages r2=local page address r3=speed flag <>0 means FAST return: r0=error code r1=number of pages actually fetched to complete map as required r2=number of fast pages fetched
Return pages into free pool from local map
opcode #2, return pages into free pool from local map pass: r1=number of pages r2=local page address return: r0=error code

opcode #3, map local page at excution page pass: r1=local page number r2=execution page number return: r0=error code
Get address map
opcode #4, get address map pass: r1=execution address r2=size of area for map return: r0=error code r1=count of pages reported
opcode #5, declare shared pages pass: r1=number of pages to declare as shared r2=local page address r3=type to be assigned to shared pages return: r0=error code
opcode #6, release shared pages (type) pass: r1=type return: r0=error code also have to check their current execution map
opcode #7, get shared pages pass: r1=type r2=local page number for start of shared area return: r0=error code
opcode #8, return size of shared page group pass: r1=type return: r0=error code r1=number of pages in shared group

Page get
opcode #A : page get in: r0=>000A r1=page number to get, if r1h <> 0, get first available r2=speed flag <>0 means fast out: r0=error code r1=pointer to node r2=page number from node
Add page to free pages in system
opcode #B : add page to free pages in system in: r0=>000B r1=page number out: r0= error if no free nodes available
Add a node to the list of free nodes
