PROCESS LIFE CYCLE
PRESENTED BY:-
GUNJAN KUMAR
PROCESS
ï‚¢ A process is defined as an entity which represents the basic unit
of work to be implemented in the system.
ï‚¢ Components of process are following:-
ï‚¢ 1.Object Program :- Code to be executed.
ï‚¢ 2.Data:- Data to be used for executing the program.
ï‚¢ 3.Resources:- While executing the program, it may require some
resources.
ï‚¢ 4.Status:- Verifies the status of the process execution.A process
can run to completion only when all requested resources have
been allocated to the process. Two or more processes could be
executing the same program, each using their own data and
resources.
PROCESS STATES
ï‚¢ As a process executes, it changes state. The state of a
process is defined as the current activity of the process.
ï‚¢ Process can have one of the following five states at a
time.
States:-
ï‚¢ New
ï‚¢ Running
ï‚¢ Ready
ï‚¢ Waiting
ï‚¢ Terminated
THE PROCESS LIFE CYCLE
CONT….
ï‚¢ As a process executes, it changes state
 New:- The process is being created
 Running:- Instructions are being executed
 Waiting: -The process is waiting for some event to occur
 Ready:- The process is waiting to be assigned to a
Processor
 Terminated: -The process has finished execution
ï‚¢ These are the important conceptual states
ï‚¢ Actual name and number of states are OS-dependent.
