Explain the difference between micro-kernel and
macro-kernel? Give an examples of micro-kernel and
macro-kernel?
Answer Posted / subrahmanyam kambala
micro-kernel based operating systems like minix
device drivers are isolated from kernel and loaded in
their user addressspaces...they will intract with message
passing. speed is very less here because of switching
between kernel and user space and context switching..
macro-kernel based operating systems like windows and linux
device drivers are part of kernel ..to interact with
kernel need not switch to kernel mode...
speed is high..
