Difference between Microkernel and Monolithic kernel

Microkernel vs. Monolithic kernel

In computer science, a microkernel (also known as μ-kernel) is the near-minimum amount of software that can provide the mechanisms needed to implement an operating system (OS). A monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture where the entire operating system is working in kernel space and is alone in supervisor mode.

Similarities between Microkernel and Monolithic kernel

Microkernel and Monolithic kernel have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Berkeley Software Distribution, Exokernel, Hybrid kernel, Kernel (operating system), Protection ring, Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate, Unix, User space.

Berkeley Software Distribution

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) was a Unix operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.

Exokernel

Exokernel is an operating system kernel developed by the MIT Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group, and also a class of similar operating systems.

Hybrid kernel

A hybrid kernel is an operating system kernel architecture that attempts to combine aspects and benefits of microkernel and monolithic kernel architectures used in computer operating systems.

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program that is the core of a computer's operating system, with complete control over everything in the system.

Protection ring

In computer science, hierarchical protection domains, often called protection rings, are mechanisms to protect data and functionality from faults (by improving fault tolerance) and malicious behaviour (by providing computer security).

Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate

The Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate was a debate between Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds, regarding the Linux kernel and kernel architecture in general.

Unix

Unix (trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others.

User space

A modern computer operating system usually segregates virtual memory into kernel space and user space.
