Process States & The Swapping Lifecycle
In multitasking operating systems, processes continuously transition across lifecycle states governed by hardware interrupts, system calls, and schedulers.
⚡ The 3 Schedulers
- Long-Term Scheduler (LTS): Regulates multiprogramming degree.
- Short-Term Scheduler (STS): Decides CPU core dispatch.
- Medium-Term Scheduler (MTS): Manages virtual memory swapping.
