However, these processors are also managed by the operating systems. Operating systems need an efficient processor in scheduling the process or thread. The operating system manages the running processes in the system and performs tasks like scheduling and resource allocation. It synchronises among processes and safeguards the resources of other processes. The operating systems allocate resources that allow the process to exchange information. Process management involves tasks related to processing like creation, scheduling, termination, deadlock, etc.

Now that we know about a process and its various states and parts, let us learn about its management. Killing: once the process finishes execution, the contexts of PCB get deleted and the process gets terminated by the OS.If during the execution, the process enters a waiting or blocked state, then it means that the processor is executing other processes. Execution: once the process has been scheduled by the OS, the processor starts executing it.Scheduling: OS chooses a process from those present in the ready queue and starts its execution, this whole process is called scheduling.Creation: once a process is created, itвЂ™s ready to be landed in the ready queue i.e loaded onto the main memory, thus, be ready for its execution.PCB can also store the data of processor registers, which are created when a process moves from one state to another.ДЄfter gaining insights on the architecture of a process and the various states a process go through, let us see some of its operations: Each PCB can be identified with an integer Process ID (PID), which helps to store all the information required to keep a track of the processes. It is a type of data structure that is maintained by the OS for each process separately.

The operating system controls a process by a block called Process Control Block (PCB).

Heap: dynamically allocated memory to process during runtime.

Stack: holds temporary data such as local variables, functional parameters, return addresses, etc.

Text: holds the current activities represented by the value of Program Counter.An operating system has the right to create, schedule, and terminate a process. We can also say that when a program is loaded in the memory it is called a process. So let us learn more about the process and its management, processor management, how they are being carried out by the operating system, and what are their different stages.ДЄ process or a thread is an active execution unit of a program that performs some action.
