Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to applying machine learning to operating system kernels are disclosed. A kernel component of an operating system kernel executing on a computing device can perform a kernel operation. A machine-learning model executing on the computing device can receive operation-related information related to the kernel operation. The machine-learning model can determine an inference based on the operation-related information. The inference can be provided to the kernel component. The kernel component can adjust performance of the kernel operation based on the inference.
