If you are a computer geek, then you must have heard the word kernel, which is the central part of an operating system<\/a>. In other words, Kernel is the heart of the computer system. It is considered the most important element in any computer system, much as the heart is for human beings. <\/p>\n

In essence, it is the most important element in a computer system. The Kernel functions much like the blood which transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the human body. <\/p>\n

Similarly, the Kernel provides services and assistance, much like the blood, to the applications and programs of the operating system. The Kernel, through the drivers and services, provides resources to the computer system. These resources range from drivers, and services, to other computer programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This blog will look at how the kernel works, what is the function of the kernel of an operating system, the parts of a kernel, and the development of kernels in operating systems. This post is particularly useful for newbies who want to learn or refresh their knowledge on the subject.<\/p>\n
