Arvutiprotsessides

Arvutiprotsessides is a term that translates from Estonian to English as "computer processes." It refers to the sequence of operations performed by a computer's central processing unit (CPU) to execute instructions. When a program is run, it is loaded into memory and the CPU begins to process its instructions one by one. This involves fetching instructions from memory, decoding them to understand what operation needs to be performed, executing the operation, and then potentially storing the result.

Each active program or task running on a computer is considered a process. These processes are managed by the operating system, which allocates CPU time to them, manages their memory, and handles their communication with other processes and hardware. A single process can also consist of multiple threads, which are smaller units of execution that can run concurrently. The efficiency of these arvutiprotsessides is crucial for the overall performance of a computer system, influencing how quickly applications respond and how smoothly multiple tasks can be handled simultaneously. Factors like CPU speed, memory availability, and operating system scheduling algorithms all play a role in the management and execution of these computer processes.
