This would be the oracle executable (oracle on UNIX/Linux, oracle.exe on Windows/VMS). This executable spawns all of the processes (UNIX/Linux) or threads (Windows) used to access an instance, such as PMON, SMON, ARCH, LGWR, DBWR, etc. And there is more to the Oracle kernel, as listed here:

and on the Hotsos website:

and at:

www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk

to name but a few web resources. You need to visit these sites and start reading.
