  Kernel (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer engineering, the kernel is the core of an operating system.
It is a piece of software responsible for providing secure access to the machine's hardware and to various computer processes (a process is a computer program in a state of execution).
Microkernels are often used in embedded robotic or medical computers because most of the OS components reside in their own private, protected memory space.

 Computer programmers
Computer programmers write, test, and maintain the detailed instructions, called programs, that computers must follow to perform their functions.
A large number of computer programmers are employed on a temporary or contract basis or work as independent consultants, as companies demand expertise with new programming languages or specialized areas of application.
Some computer programmers hold a college degree in computer science, mathematics, or information systems, whereas others have taken special courses in computer programming to supplement their degree in a field such as accounting, inventory control, or another area of business.
