  2. Stored procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored_procedure

    A stored procedure (also termed prc, proc, storp, sproc, StoPro, StoredProc, StoreProc, sp, or SP) is a subroutine available to applications that access a relational ...

  3. Carbon capture and storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_capture_and_storage

    It is usually transported via pipelines and then either used to extract oil or stored in a dedicated geologic formation. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process by which carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial installations is separated before it is released into the atmosphere, then transported to a long-term storage location.

  4. Context switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch

    The process state includes all the registers that the process may be using, especially the program counter, plus any other operating system specific data that may be necessary. This is usually stored in a data structure called a process control block (PCB) or switchframe.

  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. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    2 can be removed from the atmosphere by chemical processes, and stored in stable carbonate mineral forms. This process (CO 2-to-stone) is known as "carbon sequestration by mineral carbonation" or mineral sequestration.

    The operator then lowers the unloader another half-inch or so and the process repeats. If lowered too far, the unloader can pull up much more material than it can handle, which can overflow and plug up the blower, outlet spout, and the unloader tube, resulting in a time-wasting process of having to climb up the silo to clear the blockages.

  8. Process control block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_control_block

    A process control block (PCB), also sometimes called a process descriptor, is a data structure used by a computer operating system to store all the information about a process. 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 ...

  9. Process state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_state

    A process moves into the running state when it is chosen for execution. The process's instructions are executed by one of the CPUs (or cores) of the system. There is at most one running process per CPU or core. A process can run in either of the two modes, namely kernel mode or user mode. [1] [2]
