The Structure of an OS
Architectures (4).Advantages
Advantages of micro-kernels
the modules run in user mode protection against bugs
adaptability to use in distributed systems
forces the programmers to adopt a modularize approach
easily ported to other architectures
better use of RAM than monolithic ones
Modules in monolithic systems (Linux) - advantages
monolithic OS faster than micro-kernel OS
modularized approach
platform independence
frugal main memory usage
no performance penalty
