  2. Process state ( Ready, Stop, etc. )
  3. Priority
  4. Parent ID
  5. Owner or user ID.
  6. Register values for the process including the program counter and stack pointer values for the process.
  7. The address space for the process.
  8. Process accounting information, such as when the process was last run, how much CPU time it has accumulated, etc.
  9. Pointer to the next PCB i.e. pointer to the PCB of the next process to run
  10. I/O Information (i.e. I/O devices allocated to this process, list of opened files, etc)
