Introduction to Process Control Block (PCB) 1. Introduction to Process Management: Definition: Process management is a core function of the Operating System (OS) responsible for managing processes, from creation to termination. Example: Compiling and running a C/C++ program demonstrates how …
Introduction to Process Structure in Memory When a program runs on a computer, it is loaded into the system’s memory, transforming it from a passive entity (a program) into an active one (a process). The memory structure of a process …
Context Switch: What It Is: Context switch happens when the CPU shifts from executing one process to another. This involves saving the current process’s state (like its position in the task, data in registers, etc.) and loading the state of …
Imagine you’re working on your computer, and you have several tasks open—maybe a web browser, a music player, and a word document. But, you can only focus on one thing at a time. Your brain quickly switches between these tasks, …
Introduction Aaj ke modern operating systems mein efficient process management bahut zaroori hai, taaki multitasking aur system stability banayi ja sake. Process Control Block (PCB) ek basic data structure hai jo process management mein ek central role play karta hai. …
Introduction Sequence points in C are critical for writing reliable and predictable code. They define specific points during program execution where all side effects of previous operations are guaranteed to be complete, and no side effects from subsequent operations have …
Introduction An Operating System (OS) is essential software that acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware. It manages hardware resources, executes applications, and provides services for efficient execution of various tasks. Understanding different types of operating …
Introduction to Distributed Operating Systems A Distributed Operating System (DOS) is an advanced operating system that manages a group of independent computers and makes them appear to be a single computer. These interconnected computers communicate through a shared network, allowing …
Introduction to Time-Sharing Operating Systems A Time-Sharing Operating System allows multiple users to access and use a computer system simultaneously by allocating a fixed time slice or quantum to each task. This system ensures that all tasks receive CPU time, …
Introduction to Multi-Processing Operating Systems A Multi-Processing Operating System utilizes more than one CPU for executing tasks. This setup significantly enhances the throughput of the system, allowing it to handle more processes simultaneously. Multi-processing systems are essential in environments where …
Introduction to Multiprogramming Operating System A Multiprogramming Operating System allows multiple programs to run concurrently on a single processor. If a program needs to wait for an I/O operation, other programs can utilize the CPU, preventing idle time and optimizing …
