I am doing a design that may work best if I can have a large number
of memory segments that are successively attached and detached
to a number of process. It seems to me that System V shared memory
would provide this functionality. I would create a bunch of segments,
and then, when a process needed access to the data in a segment,
it would attach to it, use it, and then detach. So... my question
is... will it work, in practice, on a Pyramid MIS Server. Can
I have, lets say, 1500 shared memory segments laying around, a few
attached at any one time to one or more of 15 processes?

Thanks in advance.

If possible, please reply by email.
