In chapter 3 and 4 of Robert Love's book, Linux kernel Development, the author explains that an important role of the Linus kernel is managing and scheduling processes. The author does this by going into detail about the inner workings of the management and scheduling and comparing its methods to other modern operating systems as well as older methods. This is done in order to provide understanding to the audience. The intended audience of this book are people who are interested in the learning about the kernel and those who want to add to its development.
