  • Abstract
    The use of a microkernel as the foundation for modern distributed operating systems is a common decision made among system designers. This paper describes the RHODOS distributed operating system, the design decisions, its´ microkernel and kernel servers. The different approaches to the cooperation between the RHODOS microkernel and the kernel servers are presented including an analysis of the trade-offs these approaches yield between modularity and performance
