💡 Words with a Similar Meaning to "Hybrid kernel"

Found via reverse dictionary — words that share a conceptual meaning.

WordDefinition
monolithic kernelA monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture with the entire operating system running in kernel space.
microkernelnoun(operating systems) A minimal operating system kernel offering basic mechanisms rather than abstract services.
hardware virtualizationthe virtualization of computers as complete hardware platforms, certain logical abstractions of their componentry, or only the functionality required to run various operating systems.
kernel-based virtual machinea free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor.
network virtualizationIn computing, network virtualization is the process of combining hardware and software network resources and network functionality into a single, software-based administrative entity, a virtual network.
system virtual machineA system virtual machine (also called SYS-VM) is a virtual machine that provides a complete system platform and supports the execution of a complete operating system.
loadable kernel moduleIn computing, a loadable kernel module is an object file that contains code to extend the running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system.
rump kernelThe NetBSD rump kernel is the first implementation of the "anykernel" concept where drivers either can be compiled into or run in the monolithic kernel or in user space on top of a light-weight kernel.
monolithic applicationIn software engineering, a monolithic application is a single unified software application that is self-contained and independent from other applications, but typically lacks flexibility.
mixed-signal integrated circuitA mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die.
heterogeneous system architecturea cross-vendor set of specifications that allow for the integration of central processing units and graphics processors on the same bus, with shared memory and tasks.
operating system abstraction layerAn operating system abstraction layer provides an application programming interface to an abstract operating system making it easier and quicker to develop code for multiple software or hardware platforms.
hybrid cryptosystemIn cryptography, a hybrid cryptosystem is one which combines the convenience of a public-key cryptosystem with the efficiency of a symmetric-key cryptosystem.
hardware-assisted virtualization—
hypervisornoun(computing) A firmware or software system that provides a virtual machine and allows it to operate directly on underlying hardware (instead of via emulation), but within specified constraints.
application virtualizationa software technology that encapsulates computer programs from the underlying operating system on which they are executed.
distributed operating systemA distributed operating system is system software over a collection of independent software, networked, communicating, and physically separate computational nodes.
multi-core processorA multi-core processor is a microprocessor on a single integrated circuit with two or more separate central processing units (CPUs), called cores to emphasize their multiplicity (for example, dual-core or quad-core).
hybrid integrated circuitA hybrid integrated circuit, hybrid microcircuit, hybrid circuit or simply hybrid is a miniaturized electronic circuit constructed of individual devices, such as semiconductor devices (e.g. transistors, diodes or monolithic ICs) and passive components (e.g. resistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors), bonded to a substrate or printed circuit board.
cross-platform softwareIn computing, cross-platform software (also called multi-platform software, platform-agnostic software, or platform-independent software) is computer software that is designed to work in several computing platforms.
