The Operating System: A Comprehensive Overview

An operating system (OS) is a software layer that acts as an intermediary between computer hardware and user-level applications. It manages and coordinates hardware resources, provides an environment for software execution, and offers various services to both users and applications. Let's delve into the key components and functions of an operating system:  1. Kernel:  The Core Component The kernel is the heart of the operating system. It manages hardware resources, enforces security, and provides essential services. It consists of several core components: - Process Management:The kernel manages processes, which are instances of running programs. It schedules processes, allocates CPU time, and facilitates inter-process communication.   - Memory Management:The OS handles memory allocation and deallocation, ensuring efficient use of available memory. It creates a virtual memory space, allowing processes to access memory addresses that may not correspond directly to phy...
