Memory in VayuOS is treated as a Structured Object Graph. By replacing linear paging with Capability-Based Addressing (CBA), we eliminate entire classes of attacks like buffer overflows while enabling seamless zero-copy data exchange.
Standard operating systems grant memory access based on address ranges. VayuOS grants access based on **Capability Tokens** which are hardware-bound and cryptographically verified.
Every pointer in VayuOS carries implicit bounds and permission bits that are checked by the MMU on every access, making buffer overruns physically impossible.
Memory regions can be securely aliased across multiple capsule domains with different permissions (e.g., Read-Only for one, Read-Write for another) without duplicating data.
The kernel tracks capability ownership across the system, enabling instant and safe reclamation of orphaned memory blocks without manual GC cycles.
VayuOS optimizes memory usage in real-time by transparently moving pages between high-speed cache, main RAM, and compressed swap tiers.
Idle memory pages are automatically compressed using the low-latency VayuZstd algorithm, effectively doubling available system RAM with negligible CPU impact.
# Memory Map Analysis T1 (SRAM): 32MB / Active T2 (DRAM): 16GB / Ready T3 (ZSWAP): 32GB / Elastic T4 (NVMe): 512GB / Persist
Optimized TLB management through dynamic large page allocation, reducing memory lookup overhead for high-performance creative apps.
Swap out entire dormant process capsules to persistent storage as a single transactional unit, ensuring instant recovery on demand.
Direct support for hardware enclaves (like Intel SGX or Apple Secure Enclave), ensuring sensitive data remains encrypted even from the kernel.
