A kernel is a component of a computer operating system. A comparison of system kernels can provide insight into the design and architectural choices made by the developers of particular operating systems.
The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of widely used and currently available operating system kernels. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.
Even though there are a large number and variety of available Linux distributions, all of these kernels are grouped under a single entry in these tables, due to the differences among them being of the patch level. See comparison of Linux distributions for a detailed comparison. Linux distributions that have highly modified kernels — for example, real-time computing kernels — should be listed separately. There are also a wide variety of minor BSD operating systems, many of which can be found at comparison of BSD operating systems.
The tables specifically do not include subjective viewpoints on the merits of each kernel or operating system.
The major contemporary general-purpose kernels are shown in comparison. Only an overview of the technical features is detailed.

List of Linux-supported computer architectures
This table indicates, for each kernel, what operating systems' executable images and device drivers can be run by that kernel.
This may be usable on some situations like file system encrypting.
This may be usable on some situations like compression file system.

Un noyau de système d’exploitation, ou simplement noyau, ou kernel en anglais, est une des parties fondamentales de certains systèmes d’exploitation. Il gère les ressources de l’ordinateur et permet aux différents composants — matériels et logiciels — de communiquer entre eux. En tant que partie du système d’exploitation, le noyau fournit des mécanismes d’abstraction du matériel, notamment de la mémoire, du (ou des) processeur(s), et des échanges d’informations entre logiciels et périphériques matériels.
Cet article présente une liste de systèmes d’exploitation libres. Un logiciel libre est, selon la définition de la Free Software Foundation, un programme qui accorde 4 libertés essentielles à l'utilisateur : liberté d'exécuter le programme pour n'importe quel usage, liberté de le modifier, liberté de redistribuer des copies du programme et liberté de distribuer des versions modifiées. Un système d'exploitation libre est donc un système d'exploitation composé de logiciels libres.
Machine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practi
This course aims to introduce the basic principles of machine learning in the context of the digital humanities. We will cover both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, and study and imple
Multiprocessors are a core component in all types of computing infrastructure, from phones to datacenters. This course will build on the prerequisites of processor design and concurrency to introduce
