Process State Transition Diagram. A process is a program which is currently in execution. Figure 3 2 process state transition diagram an active process is normally in one of the five states in the diagram.
Process is allocated to kernel and hence is in kernel mode. A state is drawn as a rounded box containing an optional name. Logically the first two states are similar.
In both cases the process is willing to run but in the ready state there is no cpu temporarily available for it.
In both cases the process is willing to run but in the ready state there is no cpu temporarily available for it. A process that just has been created but has not yet been admitted to the pool of execution processes by the operating system. The process will transition back to ready state whenever the process is again brought onto the main memory. Process can have one of the following five states at a time.
