Bill,
There is the Unix Kernel, which is configured via the Kernel Parameters.
In UniVerse, there is the Run Engine. You modify uvconfig to change the
parameter setting (like the width and depth of the lock table). Then you
use uvregen to generate the Run Engine object code. The Run Engine
The kernel is not part of UniVerse or UniData but it can impact how it works
if you do not tune it to support both the database(UniVerse/UniData) and the
software you are running on it.

Neither U2 product has a 'kernel'. They both utilize the host operating
system to provide access to kernel functions such as memory and I/O
access and process exchange.

kernel typically refers to the very low level core files of a *nix

Although PICK was an operating system at one time, and therefore had a
kernel, the U2 products dropped the kernel so they could operate on any
operating system with adjustments. There is a engine that manages the
applications built in the environment but it is not usually called the
kernel.
