L4 is a family of second-generation microkernels based on the original designs and implementations by German computer scientist Jochen Liedtke. Originally implemented as highly tuned Intel i386-specific assembly language code, the API has seen extensive development in a number of directions, both in achieving a higher grade of platform independence and also in improving security, isolation, and robustness.
L4/x86
The L4/x86 was the original design developed by Jochen Liedtke at GMD, IBM Watson Research Center, and Universität Karlsruhe.
