Is this truly a multikernel system, with each CPU core running a kernel instance that communicates with the instances on other cores by message-passing, or is it just a system with some cores running one kernel and other cores running a different kernel, or is it both (e.g., with cores running kernel A communicating with cores running kernel B solely with message-passing)?

The last supercomputers running lightweight kernels are the remaining IBM [[Blue Gene|Bluegene]] systems running [[CNK operating system|CNK]]. A new direction for lightweight kernels is to combine them with a
full-featured OS, such as Linux, on a many-core node. These [[multikernel]]multi-kernel operating systems run a lightweight kernel on some of the CPU cores of a node, while other cores provide services that are
omitted in lightweight kernels. By combining the two, users get the Linux features they need but also the deterministic behavior and scalability of lightweight kernels.
