Andrew Tanenbaum's FOSDEM 2010 talk on MINIX 3, a microkernel OS built for high reliability and security. It shows how the system detects and recovers from device driver crashes, and addresses microkernel performance concerns.
Why HN recommends it: HN points to it as an accessible explanation of microkernel isolation and fault-tolerant design, and as Tanenbaum's answer to performance objections.
“it's a very interesting but accessible talk for those interested in lower-level systems and fault-tolerant architectures.” Read on HN ↗
