1. A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the

basic instructions that drive a computer.

2. It is also accountable for storing the contents of processor registers. These are saved
when the process moves from the running state and then returns back to it. The
information is quickly updated in the PCB by the OS as soon as the process make s the
process communication.

3. Process Management refers to aligning processes with an organization’s strategic

goals, designing and implementing process architectures, establishing process
measurement systems that align with organizational goals.

4. Process is the execution of a program that performs the actions specified in that
program. It can be defined as an execution unit where a program runs.

5. The OS helps you to create, schedule, and terminates the processes which is used by
CPU. A process created by the main process is called a child process.

6. Process operations can be easily controlled with the help of PCB (Process Control
Block).

7. In a, Shared Memory processing environment, two or more computers are connected

to each other by a communication network or high-speed bus.
8. A Process state is a condition of the process at a specific instant of time. It also
defines the current position of the process.

9. Every process is represented in the operating system by a process Control block,

which is also called a task control block.

10. Parallel processing is a computing model in which multiple processors execute

instructions simultaneously for better performance. Concurrent means, which occurs
when something else happens.

11. Inter process communication is a mechanism that allows processes to communicate

with each other and synchronize their actions.
12. Processes can communicate with each other through both: shared memory and
message passing.
