Question

Any design criterion that may be necessary has access to the operating system's microkernel. How much does this technique vary from the modular method?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer

The microkernel operating system is based on the idea of limiting the kernel to only the most basic process communication and IO management functions, while allowing additional system functions to operate in user space like any other regular process.

This is in contrast to the traditional kernel-based approach.

In this scenario, the services are referred to as servers; they are individually managed and operate in several address spaces.
