for other uses of the term Monolith disambiguation Image Mamallapuram Five Rathas.jpg thumb right Pancha Rathas monolith rock cut temple, late 7th century Monolithic architecture is a style of construction in which a building is carved, cast or excavated from a single piece of material. The most basic form of monolithic architecture is the monolith , such as the monolithic church es of Lalibela , Ethiopia or the Pancha Rathas in India . Buildings with a structural material which is poured into place, most commonly concrete , can also be described as monolithic. Extreme examples are monolithic dome s, where the material is sprayed inside of a Formwork form to produce the solid structure. An ancient example of a monolithic dome is that of the Mausoleum of Theodoric in Ravenna , Italy , which is a single stone.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Monolithic system can have different meanings in the contexts of computer software and hardware. In software A software system is called monolithic if it has a monolithic architecture , in which functionally distinguishable aspects for example data input and output, data processing, error handling, and the user interface , are not architecturally separate components but are all interwoven. Fact date February 2007 Mainframe computer s used a monolithic architecture with considerable success. Monolithic architectures implemented on DOS and earlier Microsoft Windows Windows based IBM PC compatible PCs often worked poorly with multiple users Fact date February 2007 . This performance degradation is mainly due to poor mechanisms for record locking and file handling across local area network s.

Image MMIC example.jpg thumb right 300px Photograph of a GaAs MMIC a 2 18GHz upconverter Image Monolithic microwave integrated circuit MSA0686 fixed.png thumb MMIC MSA 0686. A Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit , or MMIC sometimes pronounced mimic , is a type of integrated circuit IC device that operates at microwave radio frequency frequencies 300 MHz to 300 GHz . These devices typically perform functions such as microwave Frequency mixer mixing , power amplification, Low noise amplifier low noise amplification , and high frequency switching. Inputs and outputs on MMIC devices are frequently matched to a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. This makes them easier to use, as cascading of MMICs does not then require an external matching network . Additionally most microwave test equipment is designed to operate in a 50 ohm environment. MMICs are dimensionally small from around 1 mm to 10 mm and can be mass produced, which has allowed the proliferation of high frequency devices such as cellular phone s. MMICs were originally fabricated using gallium III arsenide gallium arsenide GaAs , a Extrinsic semiconductor Semiconductor doping III V compound semiconductor . It has two fundamental advantages over Silicon Si , the traditional material for IC realisation device transistor speed and a semi insulating Wafer electronics substrate . Both factors help with the design of high frequency circuit functions. However, the speed of Si based technologies has gradually increased as transistor feature sizes have reduced and MMICs can now also be fabricated in Si technology. The primary advantage of Si technology is its lower fabrication cost compared with GaAs. Silicon wafer diameters are larger typically 8 or 12 compared with 4 or 6 for GaAs and the wafer costs are lower, contributing to a less expensive IC. Other III V technologies, such as Indium Phosphide InP , have been shown to offer superior performance to GaAs in terms of gain, higher cutoff frequency, and low noise. However ... more details

The LSE OS kernel computer science kernel was a research kernel designed by a French research laboratory named Epita System Laboratory . The project is now open source . The main goal of the kernel was to never Crash computing crash prompting the original designers to implement it as a modular nanokernel instead of the traditional monolithic kernel of traditional operating systems . This choice was good because it allowed the drivers and services code to be moved out of the kernel computer science kernel to user space . These services would then become un privilege computer science privilege d processes so that any error that occurs e.g. in a driver won t crash the system. In a monolithic kernel this is impossible.
