Processes

  • A process is an OS abstraction for running a program.
  • Multiple processes can run on the same system, and "appear" to have exclusive use of the hardware.
    • Concurrently: Instructions of one process are interleaved with another.
    • The interleaving occurs with a mechanism called context switching.
