Submicrokernel Operating Systems Software
Submicrokernel Operating Systems Software
This category is for submicrokernel operating systems: OSs with non-monolithic architectures based on structures smaller than microkernels. Varieties and synonyms: lightweight kernel, nanokernel, picokernel, femtokernel, exokernel, no-kernel, or closely related topics. Most, maybe all object-oriented OS architectures also qualify as submicrokernels.
On this page, OSs are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: types or classes of OS. 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.
