  2. Process state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_state

    A "ready" or "waiting" process has been loaded into main memory and is awaiting execution on a CPU (to be context switched onto the CPU by the dispatcher, or short-term scheduler). There may be many "ready" processes at any one point of the system's execution—for example, in a one-processor system, only one process can be executing at any one ...

  3. Process management (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    This state describes any process which is waiting for an I/O event to take place. In this case, an I/O event can mean the use of some device or a signal from another process. The three states in this model are: RUNNING: The process that is currently being executed. READY: A process that is queuing and prepared to execute when given the opportunity.

  4. Blocking (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In computing, a process that is blocked is waiting for some event, such as a resource becoming available or the completion of an I/O operation. [1] Once the event occurs for which the process is waiting ("is blocked on"), the process is advanced from blocked state to an imminent one, such as runnable.

  5. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    The context switch loads the process into the processor and changes the state to "running" while the previously "running" process is stored in a "waiting" state. If a process in the "running" state needs to wait for a resource (wait for user input or file to open, for example), it is assigned the "blocked" state. The process state is changed ...

  6. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Waiting time and response time increase as the process's computational requirements increase. Since turnaround time is based on waiting time plus processing time, longer processes are significantly affected by this. Overall waiting time is smaller than FIFO, however since no process has to wait for the termination of the longest process.

  7. Process control block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_control_block

    When a process is created (initialized or installed), the operating system creates a corresponding process control block, which specifies and tracks the process state (i.e. new, ready, running, waiting or terminated). Since it is used to track process information, the PCB plays a key role in context switching. [1]

    When the 30 minutes is up, feel free to order an alcoholic drink if you want one—or maybe you end up opting to wait another 30 minutes, and then another 30, and so on. 3. Take the lead when ...

  9. Run queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_queue

    Processes are also removed from the run queue when they ask to sleep, are waiting on a resource to become available, or have been terminated. In the Linux operating system (prior to kernel 2.6.23), each CPU in the system is given a run queue, which maintains both an active and expired array of processes.
