Many people become confused on this point when discussing micro kernels.
2.
The disadvantages for micro kernels are extremely context based.
3.
These types of kernels are extensions of micro kernels with some properties of monolithic kernels.
4.
The concept of a Micro Kernel Database Engine ( MKDE ) was introduced in this version.
5.
The other functions such as running the hardware processes are not handled directly by micro kernels.
6.
LynxSecure features a very unusual kernel architecture that departs from traditional unix-like OS and micro kernels.
7.
Most micro kernels use a message passing system of some sort to handle requests from one server to another.
8.
They are similar to micro kernels, except they include some additional code in kernel-space to increase performance.
9.
These kernels represent a compromise that was implemented by some developers before it was demonstrated that pure micro kernels can provide high performance.
10.
Proponents of micro kernels point out those monolithic kernels have the disadvantage that an error in the kernel can cause the entire system to crash.
