Slide Content

An Operating System (OS) is an interface between a computer user and computer hardware. An
operating system is a software which performs all the basic tasks like file management, memory
management, process management, handling input and output.
The kernel is a used for operating system need to be protected from user programs to maintain
the proper operation of the computer system .The kernel is a computer program that constitutes
the central core of a computer\'s operating system. It has complete control over everything that
occurs in the system.As such, it is the first program loaded on startup, and then manages the
remainder of the startup, as well as input/output requests from software, translating them into
data processing instructions for the central processing unit.
kernel is usually loaded into a protected area of memory, which prevents it from being
overwritten by other, less frequently used parts of the operating system or by applications. The
kernel performs its tasks, such as executing processes and handling interrupts, in kernel space,
whereas everything a user normally does, such as writing text in a text editor or running
programs in a GUI, is done in user space. This separation prevents user data and kernel data from
interfering with each other and thereby diminishing performance or causing the system to
become unstable.
