What is Process
A process or
running process refers to a set of instructions currently being processed by
the computer processor.
For example: in Windows we can see each of the processes running by
opening the Processes tab in Task Manager. Windows Processes are Windows Services
and background programs we normally don't see running on the computer.
For example: a process may be a printer program that runs in the
background and monitors the ink and other printer settings while the computer
is running.
Process States:
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.
