2. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

   The process state is changed back to "waiting" when the process no longer needs to wait (in a blocked state). Once the process finishes execution, or is terminated by the operating system, it is no longer needed. The process is removed instantly or is moved to the "terminated" state. When removed, it just waits to be removed from main memory ...

3. Remote work - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_work

   The United States Marine Corps began allowing remote work in 2010. Remote work (also called telecommuting, telework, work from or at home, WFH as an initialism, hybrid work, and other terms) is the practice of working at or from one's home or another space rather than from an office or workplace.

4. Process management (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_management_(computing)

   Process creation in Windows is done through the CreateProcessA() system call. A new process runs in the security context of the calling process, but otherwise runs independently of the calling process. Methods exist to alter the security context in which a new processes runs. New processes are assigned identifiers by which they can be accessed.

5. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

   Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program.Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.

6. Task (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_(computing)

   In computing, a task is a unit of execution or a unit of work. The term is ambiguous; precise alternative terms include process, light-weight process, thread (for execution), step, request, or query (for work). In the adjacent diagram, there are queues of incoming work to do and outgoing completed work, and a thread pool of threads to perform ...

7. Job (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_(computing)

   As a unit of execution, a job may be concretely identified with a single process, which may in turn have subprocesses (child processes; the process corresponding to the job being the parent process) which perform the tasks or steps that comprise the work of the job; or with a process group; or with an abstract reference to a process or process ...

8. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

   In a well designed and correctly implemented multitasking system, a given process can never directly access memory that belongs to another process. An exception to this rule is in the case of shared memory; for example, in the System V inter-process communication mechanism the kernel allocates memory to be mutually shared by multiple processes ...

9. Job scheduler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_scheduler

   A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling, as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing, though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.
