Kernel code is responsible to manage the work in both hardware and software for the OS, and it also transmits the information using the Input and Output system in OS X and it does a similar function in Windows10, but it is called device manager. Using the internet might compromise the safety of user data in some sites which means that the OS must be well secured. In Mac the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is responsible

The tasks of parallelism, fault tolerance, data distribution and load balancing are left to the MapReduce system, simplifying the development process. From the standpoint of distributed systems, MapReduce offers the transparency of replication, distribution and synchronization. Each operation of the MapReduce model consists of two functions. The first call mapping function receives a portion of the input
