Study Notes
- Process scheduler selects processes for execution on CPU core.
- Scheduling queues maintain ready and wait processes.
- Context switch saves and loads process state.
- PCB represents context of a process.
- Context-switch time is overhead.
- Hardware support affects context-switch time.
- System provides mechanisms for process creation and termination.
- Parent and child processes share resources.
- Execution options include concurrent or sequential.
- Children can create other processes forming a tree of processes.
