Study Notes
Process Types
- Independent process: cannot affect or be affected by the execution of another process
- Cooperating process: can affect or be affected by the execution of another process
Advantages of Process Cooperation
- Information sharing: allows processes to exchange data and coordinate their actions
- Computation speed-up: enables multiple processes to work together to solve a problem faster
- Modularity: breaks down a complex task into smaller, more manageable modules
- Convenience: simplifies the development and maintenance of complex systems by allowing multiple processes to work together seamlessly
