An operating system (OS) is provided including a hardware-based task scheduler, with a method for managing OS sourced tasks to be performed by a central processing unit (CPU). An OS, partially enabled as software instructions stored in a computer-readable medium and executed by the CPU, generates CPU tasks. The CPU tasks are buffered in a computer-readable task database memory. CPU task IDs associated with the buffered CPU tasks are enqueued in a CPU queue. Subsequently, the CPU dequeues a first task ID from the CPU queue, and accessing a first CPU task from the task database associated with the first CPU task ID. The CPU delivers the first CPU task to the OS. The OS generates the CPU instructions needed to perform the first CPU task, and sends the CPU instructions to the CPU for performance.
