Kernelová

Kernelová refers to the kernel of an operating system. The kernel is the core component of an operating system that manages the system's resources and acts as a bridge between the hardware and the software running on the computer. It is responsible for tasks such as process management, memory management, device management, and system calls. The kernel is the first program loaded on startup and remains in memory until shutdown. It provides essential services that all other parts of the operating system and applications rely on. Different operating systems utilize different kernel architectures, such as monolithic kernels, microkernels, and hybrid kernels, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance, modularity, and stability. Understanding the kernel's role is fundamental to comprehending how an operating system functions and manages the underlying hardware.
