The document discusses different structures used in operating system design:
- Monolithic structure tightly integrates all components into a single program.
- Layered structure divides the OS into separate layers that provide and utilize services from adjacent layers.
- Microkernel structure separates the OS into a small kernel and user-level services like file systems and drivers.
- Virtual machine structure allows multiple OSes to run concurrently on a single machine through virtualization.
- Client-server and hybrid structures combine elements from different structures to balance performance, modularity, and flexibility.
