Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'supervisory' (pertaining to overseeing) + 'software' (programs) yields 'software that supervises or controls other programs'. While the full technical detail about residing in main memory is domain-specific, the core meaning is predictable from the constituents and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Supervisory software comes from the simple image of a manager inside the computer: supervisory means 'watching over' and software means the programs that run on the machine. So, supervisory software 'watches over' other programs and makes sure they run smoothly.
