Process management in Windows 8

Process management in Windows 8

v   Windows 8 operating system services allows creation of new processes in response to a system call.
v  It allows users to create multiple numbers of processes with default attributes and identifiers
v  the creation of a new process , process control block is taken from the main memory that provides the parameter about the running process like process name, process priority, process state, CPU registers etc.
v  You can also destroy and remove the specified process from the computer system by responding to a system call.
v  Windows 8 operating system services allows creation of new processes in response to a system call. It allows users to create multiple numbers of processes with default attributes and identifiers. Any process cannot be started by its own but require system calling. With the creation of a new process , process control block is taken from the main memory that provides the parameter about the running process like process name, process priority, process state, CPU registers etc
v  Any newly created process can be removed from Windows 8 environment by using deleting system call from operating system. When any delete command is executed then the operating system de-allocate all resources allocated to the specified process and finally return the process control block back to the free main memory from which it is accessed.
v  Sometimes, due to lack of resources the situation might occurs in which forceful termination of currently running processes are required which is fulfilled by abort command which is as same as delete command. When abort command is called then the memory registers and dump memory information is transferred to the main memory and then all processes with dump memory locations are terminated.
v  Some processes are suspended from main memory because of less memory space. These all suspended processes are put under the suspended list and later operating system resume command provides resuming of suspended processes. Even we can also delay the execution of processes by changing the priority state of currently running processes.
