Input and Output Management

🖥️ The kernel not only manages files, processes, and memory but also handles Input and Output (I/O) management for devices like monitors, keyboards, mice, hard drives, and network adapters.

Device Management

🔌 The kernel manages I/O devices by loading drivers that allow communication between the operating system and hardware. It facilitates data transfer and ensures efficient communication between devices.

💬 I/O management includes both user-device communication and inter-device communication. The kernel oversees this process to ensure efficient, error-free data transfer.

Troubleshooting Performance Issues

🔧 Hardware resource issues are often the cause of slow system performance:

• Insufficient RAM can prevent multiple processes from loading.

• CPU shortages can slow down program execution.

• Excessive I/O can block other data transmissions, leading to sluggishness.

⏱️ Slow performance is a common issue in IT support, and identifying its source—whether due to memory, CPU, or I/O overload—is key to resolving it.
