Study Notes
Process and Resource Definitions
- A process is a program in execution, including the current activity, memory, and system resources.
- A resource is a system component that can be allocated to a process, such as CPU, memory, or I/O devices.
Resource Types
- A preemptive resource is a resource that can be taken away from a process while it is still running, such as CPU time.
- Memory is considered a preemptive resource because the operating system can deallocate memory from a process and assign it to another process.
- A non-preemptive resource is a resource that cannot be taken away from a process once it has been allocated, such as I/O devices.
