微内核操作系统设计方法及其实例的比较

Design of Microkernels and a Comparison of Three Implementations

微内核操作系统提供了并行计算机所需的功能和性能，是并行操作系统的发展方向讨论微内核操作系统的基本设计方法，并介绍几个典型实例：Ａｍｏｅｂａ，Ｍａｃｈ，Ｃｈｏｒｕｓ．

The future of supercomputing lies in massively parallel computers There is great difference between the operating system that runs on the nodes of these machines and those that run on the current computers Microkernels provide the kind of functionality and performance required We discuss in this paper three popular microkernels,Amoeba,Mach,and Chorus,to show what they can do They are compared and contrasted in the areas of process management,memory management,and communication ,
