Kernel

English (en)

Kernel
The kernel is a core component of an
operating system and serves as the 
main interface between the 
computers' physical hardware and 
the processes running on it. 

The kernel enables multiple 
applications to share hardware 
resources by providing access to 
CPU, memory, disk I/O, and 
networking. 

A kernel connects and manages 
resources for a computers' 
operating system and components.
