# System Architecture Overview

## Overview of the System-level Architecture

The system-level architecture consists of a set of registers, data structures
and instructions designed to support basic system management operations such as
memory management, interrupt handling, task management and control of multiple
processors. Figure 4.1 describes the registers and data structures relevant to
V32 mode.

## Memory Management Overview

The Vertex-32 architecture provides several instructions that create and
manipulate pages and page tables.
