[comp.os.research] Definition of a microkernel

usenet@darkstar.ucsc.edu (Usenet News Account) (06/03/91)

The focus on microkernel-based operating systems leads me to the
question about a microkernel definition.  I'm aware of a minimal kernel
(through reports on Clouds, esp. Ra) but can't imagine an analogy
hearing about the functionality and code size of current microkernels.


Can someone help with references or suggestions ?

Thanks,
