microkernel

(1) The part of an operating system that is specialized for the hardware it is running in. The other components of the OS interact with the microkernel in a message-based relationship and do not have to be rewritten when the OS is ported to a new platform. Only the hardware-dependent microkernel has to be reprogrammed. See kernel.

(2) A small control program that is designed to perform a limited set of functions in one type of computer.

(operating system)

microkernel - An approach to operating system design emphasising small modules that implement the basic features of the system kernel and can be flexibly configured.
