COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer’s operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system. It is the portion of the operating system code that is always resident in memory and facilitates interactions between hardware and software components.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is the core that provides basic services for all other parts of the OS. It is the main layer between the OS and underlying computer hardware, and it helps with tasks such as process and memory management, file systems, device control and networking.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kernel-mode components of Windows are the following: and thread management, security, I/O, and interprocess communication. Kernel: Controls execution of the processor(s). The Kernel manages thread scheduling, process switching, exception and interrupt handling, and multiprocessor synchronization.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kernel is an essential center of a computer operating system. It is the core that provides basic services for all other parts of the operating system. It is the main layer between the OS and hardware. Kernel helps in the process and memory management, file systems, device control, and networking.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monolithic Kernel: In this, all OS services operate in the kernel space i.e., user services and kernel services are implemented in the same memory space. This increases the size of Kernel and OS makes the execution of a process faster.
