to ensure that two concurrently-executing threads or processes do not execute the same code of a program at the same time.
to control access to state both in small-scale multiprocessing systems -- in multithreaded environments and multiprocessor computers - and in distributed computers consisting of thousands of units - in banking and database systems, in web servers, and so on.
Buffering allows data related to the processes in execution to be available faster to the CPU. This is by putting them on smaller, faster memories.
The OS must be able to keep track of the various processes. This is done with the use of process control blocks The OS must allocate and deallocate various resources for each active process. At times, multiple processes want access to the same resource The OS must protect the data and physical resources of each process against unintended interference by other processes. This involves techniques that relate to memory, files, and I/O devices. The functioning of a process, and the output it produces, must be independent of the speed at which its execution is carried out relative to the speed of other concurrent processes.
Android process is nothing but process, its like you have a PC its running Windows and over that some process is running. So, that makes it Windows process and similarly when a process runs over the Android device its called Android Process.
A zombie process is a process that has finished running, but is still there.
A child process is a process that was created by a parent process. The child process usually helps the parent process accomplish some task independently of the parent.
The provision of mechanisms for process synchronization
a synchronization manager is a program that can help you synchronizing for ex your computer and a palm The process by which files and programs are transferred between PDAs and PCs.
synchronization mean arrange all process in sequence for that not occured no colusion in the system.
Processes might need to communicate to each. Interprocess of synchronization is the?æ management of resource among process. It ensures only a single thread (process) access a resource at a particular time.
Synchronization!
A deadlock is a situation whereÊtwo or more competing actions or processes run at the same time while they shouldn't hence no task is either completed, while process synchronization is where two or more process work together concurrently with each other to complete a task.
its Cooperation
the ability to enforce mutual exclusion
Synchronization... follow me on twitter Casey Bordwell :p lol
The importance of the writing process is that it is a step by step process to make you a great writer.
i have no clue
Data synchronization is commonly used by your own home computer to backup its own data. This process can also be used to transfer downloaded content such as books, movies, and music to portable devices such as a tablet, television, or other portable devices.
