Monolithic Operating Systems Software

Monolithic Operating Systems Software

Most operating systems (OSs) in use are monolithic. In these, all source code is compiled into one logically undivided block of object code, though the source and/or object code may be segmented into different address spaces, unlike in a Single Address Space OS (SASOS).On this page, OSs are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: types or classes of OSs. 2) Middle group: OSs for which there are more than one instance of an OS of this name/type, an OS family. 3) Bottom group: specific OSs, individual instances; there is only one OS of this name/type.
