Abstract

Kernel - the core part of the OS- have drivers to talk to the Hardware, Memory manager, schedule manager, interrupt handler, CPU scheduling, etc which BIOS Doesn’t has. It can also detect the hardware present on system and talk to them(hardware) through the device drivers. It is responsible for multiple applications to share the same hardware by controlling the access to CPU, Memory, and Devices by avoiding the deadlock condition.
