Description: Process management in computer systems refers to the coordination and administration of tasks running on a computer system. This includes the creation, scheduling, execution, and termination of processes, as well as the allocation of resources such as memory and CPU time. Process management is crucial to ensure that multiple applications can run simultaneously without interference, optimizing the use of system resources. Computer systems use different scheduling algorithms to decide which processes should run at any given time, and they also implement synchronization mechanisms to handle communication between processes. Additionally, process management includes managing the states of processes, which can be new, ready, running, blocked, or terminated. This functionality is essential for system performance and stability, allowing users and applications to interact efficiently and effectively.
