Dear Team,
I hope everything is well with you and that everyone is safe.
I am an undergraduate student who is collecting information about AkarOS for an article in my course work . I am very much impressed with the idea of MCP and would like to appreciate y'all for coming up with it. I have gone through the papers in http://akaros.org but could not understand what architecture the AkarOS implements i.e micro kernel, nano kernel, monolithic kernel. It would be very helpful if someone could help me with this.

And also I'm unable to access this website : http://akaros.cs.berkeley.edu/

Thank you and have a great day ahead

Sure. Akaros (styled "Akaros", not "AkarOS") is a monolithic kernel.

And also I'm unable to access this website : http://akaros.cs.berkeley.edu/

Thank you and have a great day ahead

We moved that to akaros.org. I think I tried to have berkeley forward
it, but I guess that broke. Not surprising - it's been 5 years since
any of us were there.

These are the two (quite long) authoritative papers on Akaros:
