Kernel

The kernel is computer software at the center of the operating system that has complete
control over every aspect of the system. The kernel is the operating system code’s section that
resides in memory. The kernel facilitates interactions and communications between software and
hardware components. In most computing systems, the kernel is among the first programs to get
loaded after the bootloader during startup. The kernel handles the other startup processes,
including software input and output requests (Hu et al., 2018). The core translates input and
output requests into the central processing unit's data processing instructions. Additionally, the
kernel handles peripherals, including speakers, printers, monitors, and keyboards, and also
manages the memory.
The kernel manages the computer hardware and operations, including a central
processing unit and memory time. This kernel provides services and functionalities to program
requests, including the use of the disk, network card, and other hardware components. The
program request gets forwarded to device drivers that control the hardware components. The
kernel set...
