### EX: Kernel Executive
The kernel executive supplies heap management, including support for allocating system memory from paged/non-paged
pools, as well as synchronization primitives like push locks and fast mutexes, interlocked memory access, and worker
threads.
### HL: Hardware Abstraction Layer
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), is a layer between the physical hardware of the computer and the rest of the operating
system. It was designed to hide differences in hardware and therefore it provides a consistent platform on which
