Monolithic Kernal (Macro Kernel): Kernal Image = (Kernal
Core+Kernal Services). When system boots up entire services
are loaded and resides in memory. Example: Windows and Unix.
Micro kernal : Kernel Image = Kernal Core. Services are
build in to special modules which can be loaded and
unloaded as per need.
We have another type of kernal integration technic called
Modular. This is derived from best of micro and monolithic
kerel) In Modular kernel integration:
Kernal Image = (Kernal core + IPC service modules +Memory
module +Process Management module). All other modules are
lodable kernel modules. Example: Linux kernel
