This document provides an overview of process management in computer architecture. It defines processes as programs in execution and describes process states like new, ready, running, waiting, and terminated. Key concepts covered include process creation using fork(), address spaces, process control blocks (PCBs) used to store process information, context switching between processes, and different scheduling queues for processes waiting to execute or for I/O events.
