Question

What should be the guiding philosophy while creating the microkernel of an operating system? In terms of the jobs it completes, how does it vary significantly from the modular approach?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction

In contrast to the traditional kernel-based approach, the microkernel operating system is based on the concept of reducing the kernel to only the most fundamental process communication and IO management functions, while allowing additional system functions to operating in user space like any other regular process.

The services are known as servers in this situation; they are maintained separately and operate in different address spaces.
