What is a Process?
A process is a program in execution. Process is not as same as program code but a lot more than it. A process is an 'active' entity as opposed to program which is considered to be a 'passive' entity. Attributes held by process include hardware state, memory, CPU etc .
( Program & Process )
Program
A computer program is a collection of instruction that performs a specific task when executed by a computer .
Passive entity
( Process )
- Active entity
- Program code + pc + associated resources + Status of the
process’s execution .

( Process Concept )
An operating system executes a variety of programs: -
- Batch system – jobs
- Time-shared systems – user programs or tasks
Process – a program in execution; process execution must progress in sequential fashion.
A process includes:
Text section
Data section
Stack section
program counter
( Process Concept )
Program is passive entity stored on disk (executable file), process is active
Program becomes process when executable file loaded into memory
Execution of program started via GUI mouse clicks, command line entry of its name, etc
One program can be several processes
Consider multiple users executing the same program
What the OS is going to do for the Process?
Creating and removing( destroying )process .
Controlling the progress of processes .
Acting on interrupts and arithmetic errors .
Resource allocation among processes .
Inter process communication .
( Process Memory )
Process memory is divided into four sections for efficient working : -
The Text section is made up of the compiled program code, read in from non-volatile storage when the program is launched.
The Data section is made up the global and static variables, allocated and initialized prior to executing the main.
The Heap is used for the dynamic memory allocation, and is managed via calls to new, delete, malloc, free, etc.
The Stack is used for local variables. Space on the stack is reserved for local variables when they are declared.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

LESSON 7
PROCESS CONTROL BLOCK
All of the information needed to keep track of a process when
switching is kept in a data package called a process control block. A
Process Control Block (PCB, also called Task Control Block or Task Struct) is
a data structure in the operating system kernel containing the information
needed to manage a particular process. The PCB is "the manifestation of
a process in an operating system".
The process control block typically contains:
• An ID number that identifies the process (Process Identifier)
• Pointers to the locations in the program and its data where
processing last occurred
• Register contents
• States of various flags and switches
• Pointers to the upper and lower bounds of the memory required for
the process
• A list of files opened by the process
• The priority of the process
• The status of all I/O devices needed by the process
Each process has a status associated with it. Many processes
consume no CPU time until they get some sort of input. For example, a
process might be waiting for a keystroke from the user. While it is waiting
for the keystroke, it uses no CPU time. While it's waiting, it is "suspended".
When the keystroke arrives, the OS changes its status. When the status of
the process changes, from pending to active, for example, or from
suspended to running, the information in the process control block must
be used like the data in any other program to direct execution of the task-
switching portion of the operating system.
This process swapping happens without direct user interference,
and each process gets enough CPU cycles to accomplish its task in a
reasonable amount of time. Trouble can begin if the user tries to have too
many processes functioning at the same time. The operating system itself
requires some CPU cycles to perform the saving and swapping of all the
registers, queues and stacks of the application processes. If enough
processes are started, and if the operating system hasn't been carefully
designed, the system can begin to use the vast majority of its available
2. MODULE IN ITE229 - OPERATING SYSTEMS 15
Prepared by: For-Ian V. Sandoval
CPU cycles to swap between processes rather than run processes. When
this happens, it's called thrashing, and it usually requires some sort of direct
user intervention to stop processes and bring order back to the system.
One way that operating-system designers reduce the chance of
thrashing is by reducing the need for new processes to perform various
tasks. Some operating systems allow for a "process-lite," called a thread,
that can deal with all the CPU-intensive work of a normal process, but
generally does not deal with the various types of I/O and does not
establish structures requiring the extensive process control block of a
regular process. A process may start many threads or other processes, but
a thread cannot start a process.
So far, all the scheduling we've discussed has concerned a single
CPU. In a system with two or more CPUs, the operating system must divide
the workload among the CPUs, trying to balance the demands of the
required processes with the available cycles on the different CPUs.
Asymmetric operating systems use one CPU for their own needs and
divide application processes among the remaining CPUs. Symmetric
operating systems divide themselves among the various CPUs, balancing
demand versus CPU availability even when the operating system itself is all
that's running.
If the operating system is the only software with execution needs,
the CPU is not the only resource to be scheduled. Memory management
is the next crucial step in making sure that all processes run smoothly.
