Microkernel is the central core of an operating system that controls everything in the system including startup, data processing, input/output, configuration, and memory management. It provides the basic mechanisms needed to implement an operating system, such as low-level address space management, thread management, and interprocess communication. Unlike monolithic kernels, drivers, protocols, file systems and other low-level systems are developed in user space. This increases security and stability since less code runs in kernel mode, and new features can be added without recompiling the kernel. Examples of microkernels include Mach and L4.

- 2. What Is Kernel -It is Central Core of Operating System control every thing which included in system. Start Up Data processing Input -Output Configura tion Memory Mangeme nt
- 3. What is Microkernel -It is software which provides mechanism needed to implement an operating system -Includes low-level address space management, thread management, inter process communication -Unlike mono kernels, device drivers, protocol stack, file system and other low level system develop on user space
- 5. Advantages -Increased Security and stability resulting from reduced amount of code running on kernel mode -Without recompiling added new features Examples:- If Network service crashed due to buffer overflow then only network service memory corrupt others services are still functional
- 6. IPC(Inter Process Communication) -It is mechanism which allow separate process to communicate with each other usually by sending message -Microkernel allows operating system to built number of small program called servers which are used by other program on system invoked via IPC
- 7. OS Based on Microkernel
