KSP (Kernel Space Programming)

Kernel Space Programming (KSP) involves developing and managing the core part of an operating system—the kernel—that controls hardware resources like memory, CPU, and storage. It requires writing code that runs with high privileges, directly interacting with hardware to ensure efficient and secure operation. KSP enables features like device drivers, process management, and system security. Developers working in this space must understand hardware architecture, synchronization, and low-level programming, as their code directly influences the stability and performance of the entire system, serving as the foundation upon which user applications function.
