Just to add what would be "not existing":
- user level
- IPC since these memory blocks would be named "files".
And as far as the G.R.A.S.S (geographical data processing) was involved,
one could really need lots of "memory"; far more than what was available
(end of eighties); and with increasing data size, problem is still here
(well, with geographical data, one sorting is obvious: by location hence
tiling; problem starts when one has to consider how to weave tile
results, if the result of the whole may depend on non local (twice the
size of the tile) interdependencies).
