Description
• A Process is a program in execution. It executes the
task of the program.
• Thread – unit/s of execution within a process.
• Process Management – involves various tasks like
creation, scheduling, termination of processes and a
dead lock. OS is responsible for process scheduling
and resource allocation.
Process Architecture
Stores temporary data like
function parameters, return
addresses, and local variables.

Allocates memory, which may


be processed during its run
time.

Contains the variable/s.

Includes the current activity,


which is represented by the
value of the program counter.
Process State
• Process State – current status of the process.
Process State

• New – a process is newly created.


• Ready – waiting to be loaded into the primary
memory, which is ready for execution.
• Running – The process is in state of execution.
• Waiting – waiting for an event or signal. (Ex. I/O
completion)
• Terminated – the process is finished.
Process Control Block (PCB)
Process Control Block (PCB)
•Process state: A process can be new, ready, running,
waiting, etc.
•Program counter: The program counter lets you know the
address of the next instruction, which should be executed for
that process.
•CPU registers: This component includes accumulators,
index and general-purpose registers, and information of
condition code.
•CPU scheduling information: This component includes a
process priority, pointers for scheduling queues, and various
other scheduling parameters.
Process Control Block (PCB)
•Accounting and business information: It includes the
amount of CPU and time utilities like real time used, job or
process numbers, etc.
•Memory-management information: This information
includes the value of the base and limit registers, the page, or
segment tables. This depends on the memory system, which
is used by the operating system.
•I/O status information: This block includes a list of open
files, the list of I/O devices that are allocated to the process,
etc.
