Illustrate The Process State Diagram. It contains following information associated with a specific process. Let us first take a look at the process state diagram which is as follows.
All the information about each process is stored in the process control block pcb which is maintained by operating system. Specific details may vary from system to system. A transition from this state will show the first real state.
A process is removed from the running state by the scheduler if a process with a higher priority becomes runnable.
The arrows show how the process changes states. A process is running if the process is assigned to a cpu. The initial state of a state machine diagram known as an initial pseudo state is indicated with a solid circle. The process state diagram shown below describes different process states during its lifetime.
