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 consists of memory, the processor or the central processing unit (CPU), and input/output (I/O) components such as graphics, storage, and networking. The CPU executes computations and reads and writes to memory. There are two modes for the code executed by the system on a CPU: kernel mode and user mode.
Detailed explanation-3: -Functions of a kernel include scheduling processes, resource allocation, device management, interrupt handling, memory management, and process management.
Detailed explanation-4: -Kernel is system software which is part of operating system. Operating System provides interface between user and hardware. Kernel provides interface between applications and hardware. It also provides protection and security.
