Processes and Threads in Operating Systems

Whenever you launch an application on a computer, the operating system creates a process for it. Creating a process may sound trivial, but in fact, the operating system goes through several states and performs certain actions before its creation. Even after process creation, the operating system keeps working to ensure other processes run appropriately. As the OS performs many operations at the same time, even in a single process, it executes concurrently by employing a technique known as multithreading. In this lesson, we will uncover the details behind process management and concurrent execution of the operating system.
