从代码结构上来看,子模块也不是内核(核心程序)的一部分,因此内核代码非常精简。 monolithic kernel 是指一体化内核,linux就是一种 monolithic kernel ,这种内核包含了内存管理,文件系统,驱动,网络模块等等。这种内核把所有功能都集成到一个工程里,也保证了这些被集成的功能都运行在内核态。 从代码结构上来看,子模块是...
内核的结构时常可分为单内核(monolithic kernel),微内核(microkernel),超微内核(nanokernel),以及外核(exokernel)等。超微内核与外内核等其余结构是在二十世纪末的时候有理论界进展起来的,大局部时候在实验室里生活;而自二十世纪八十年代起, 大局部理论琢磨都凑拢在以微内核为首的“新兴”结构之上;一同,在利用领土...
简言之,微内核就是将操作系统的内核精简到只有进程管理、线程调度、内存管理、进程间通讯等十分重要的核心组件,而其它的系统非必要组件例如GUI系统、网络协议栈、文件系统、设备驱动等都以用户态服务进程(deamon进程)的形式存在,通过IPC(进程间通讯)为其它用户进程提供服务。 Linux是宏内核操作系统的代表,它将设备驱动...
Discussion of Microkernel and Monolithic Kernel ApproachesIvan StankovGrisha Spasov
Because of its all-or-nothing style design, monolithic architecture lacks the stability of a microkernel approach. In monolithic designs, kernel panic or other service issues can lead to the entire host crashing. However, a reboot often fixes most issues. ...
easily scalable and very secure. This security comes at the price of speed though. The monolithic kernel isn’t as secure, but is always faster. Micro-kernels tend to be slower (from 50% in the worst case to only 10% in the best case) than the more integrated monolithic kernel. So, ...
A microkernel (or ‘muK’, where ‘mu’ is the Greek letter which indicates ‘micro’) differs vastly from a monolithic kernel in that in a muK, all things that might potentially bring down the system runoutsideof kernelspace, in individual processes often known as servers. In MINIX3, for...
