Secure: Microkernel architecture that reshapes security and trustworthiness from the ground up.
The Microkernel upon which Fuchsia's code would be based on is called“Zircon”;
The Microkernel can deliver IPC performance up to 5
times more efficient than existing systems.
The Microkernel can make IPC performance up to five times
more efficient than existing systems.
This Microkernel on which the code of Fuchsia is based is called” Zircon”
and it was previously called” Magenta“.
Both Android and Chrome OS are based on Linux kernels,
while Fuchsia will be based on new Microkernel called Zircon.
To best follow these principles, Symbian uses a Microkernel, has a request-and-callback approach to services,
and maintains separation between user interface and engine.
Essentially, Zircon is a Microkernel which, in layman terms, will
manage software-hardware interactions better and offer more efficiency in terms of utilization of resources such as processing power and network speeds.
In 1990, members of the GNU project began using Carnegie Mellon's Mach Microkernel in a project called GNU Hurd, which has yet
to achieve the maturity level required for full POSIX compliance.
