The overall operating system was supposed to be responsible for communication between hardware and the user, but it provides a platform for much more than simple communication between the hardware and the user. The kernel, however, is the part of the operating system that is primarily responsible for this. The computer is made up of a large number of small electrical components and a basic means of communicating with them is necessary. The core receives instructions and converts them into an electrical signal for the computer's electronics. "The kernel responsible for memory management, process and task management, and disk management." Memory management is important, this is where we use the memory needed to run programs allocated to those programs that need it and those that no longer need it. Process and task management is where the kernel manages the necessary resources. At the end of this article is a diagram showing the relationship between the kernel, operating system and
