TOP 10 LIST OF WEEK 6
1. According to wikipedia, a process is the instance of a computer program that is being executed by one or many threads. It contains the program code and its activity. Depending on the operating system (OS), a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently. To learn about the concept of process you can read it at this website or watch the explanation in this video.
2. The act of determining which process is in the ready state, and should be moved to the running state is known as process scheduling. Visit this website to learn more about process scheduling. If that’s not enough, you can also get another explanation in this video.
3. There are two kinds of scheduling methods, which are preemptive scheduling and non-preemptive scheduling. To learn about the difference between preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling, you can visit this website and/or watch this video.
4. When a C program is created it’s just some pieces of bytes which is stored in hard disk. And when the program started, it’s going to be load in memory and become a live entity. Check this website to learn the memory layout of a process.
6. What is a Thread? A thread is a path of execution within a process. Visit this website to learn more about thread.
7. According to wikipedia multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution concurrently, supported by the operating system. To learn about multithreading, you can visit this website. After that, you can visit this website to learn the example of multithreading in C languange.
8. What’s the difference between multithreading and multiprocessing? Visit this website to learn more.
9. A thread library provides the programmer an API for creating and managing threads. Visit this website to learn more about thread library.
10. Concurrency is the computation of processes within a time frame to give an impression of simultaneous execution. Here, it’s important to note that this is not the same thing as actually running simultaneously. You can watch this video or this video to learn more about concurrencya.
