The process states
Learn the states a process moves through, what triggers each move, and the three kinds of scheduler. About 12 minutes.
A process waiting for a disk read finishes waiting. Which state does it go to?
- AReady: it has to be chosen by the scheduler again
- BRunning, straight away
- CNew
Show the answer
Ready: it has to be chosen by the scheduler again. There is no direct arrow from waiting to running; the CPU may be busy.
