Monolithic kernel vs. Microkernel


This document explains the two main kernel architectures of
operating systems: the monolithic kernel and the microkernel.
Starting with an introduction about the term "kernel"
itself and its meaning for operating systems as a whole, it
continues with a comparison of bene ts and disadvantages
of both architectures, rounded up by a list of popular implementations.
