*In computer operating systems, a monolithic kernel is a kernel which behaves as a single program, rather than as a collection of intercommunicating programs as in the microkernel design. The term "monolithic kernel" was coined as a mild term of abuse during a period in operating-systems research when microkernels were believed to be more advanced and capable..
