Microkernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a microkernel is a computer kernel that provides the mechanisms needed to implement an operating system, such as low-level address space management, thread management, and inter...

Kernel (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the 'kernel' is the central component of most computer operating systems. Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software co...

This presentation gives an overview of the important aspects of PyBlosxom from a developer's point of view. My goal is to make ... PyBlosxom is a weblogging/blogging system written in Python. ... Blog posts are stored as individual files in a category-oriented hierarchy of directories on the filesystem of the blog's web-server.

But this integration of most drivers and servers back into the TCB largely eliminates the benefits of the microkernel approach, in the end resulting in an even more complex monolithic-like OS kernel.

Using this approach, a unified system architecture is developed for incorporating multiple types of simulation processes. The processes hold potential to employ a variety of synchronization mechanisms, and could even alter their choice of mechanism dynamically.

Neutrino's microkernel approach ... As a testament to this microkernel approach, the SMP-enabled QNX Neutrino kernel/process manager adds only a few kilobytes of additional code. The SMP versions are designed for these main processor families:

aka Client-Server organisation. ... The organising structure currently in vogue is the microkernel OS. ... The goal is to minimise what goes in the kernel, and implement much of the operating system as user-level processes. This results in : Better reliability; Ease of extension and customisation;

The intention is to take a leaf out of the micro-kernel approach to operating system design: define a core that is needed for the vast majority of users (the coordination services) and extend this via targeted protocols.
