Study Notes
Process Components
- A process consists of program counter, registers, and memory (both program and data)
Interprocess Communication (IPC)
- Purpose: allows processes to exchange data and synchronize their actions
IPC in Shared-Memory Systems

IPC Methods
- Two main methods: shared memory and message passing
Client-Server Communication
- Purpose: allows a client to request a service from a server using sockets
- Sockets: allow communication between a client and a server over a network
