- Kernel Mode
User Mode −
The OS mode in which all the user applications and programs will run. Here, the user instructions are worked on and softwares like playing music is run.
Kernel Mode −
The OS mode in which the hardware loads and its computations are performed. Only privileged instructions are allowed to run in kernel mode. Some common privileged instructions are −
- Input-Output Management
