3 Computing

Computing has many concepts of process.

3.1 Program execution

In computing, a computer process is a running instance of a program, including all variables and other states. A multitasking operating system switches between processes to give the appearance of simultaneous execution, though in fact, in general, only one process can be executing per CPU core. Some new processors, such as Intel's Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading capability, can actually execute more than one process at a time.

3.2 Software development

A software development process is a sequence of steps that practitioners and managers take to create software. The steps usually include requirements analysis, programming, testing, and other steps.

Different processes mix the steps together in different ways, and assign responsibility to people in different ways.

The CMM is a meta-process that defines rigid goals up front, and emphasizes scientific management. Some dislike its emphasis on paperwork.

An outgrowth of tissue is called a process in biology and anthropology, e.g. mastoid process.

Whitehead was a logician/mathematician. He understood quantum theory, even to the point of developing a Theory ProcessorCPU The processor sub-system of a data processing system processes received information after it has been encoded into data by the input sub-system. These data are then processed by the processing sub-system before being sent to the output sub-system wher Process (computing)In computing, a process is, roughly speaking, a task being run by a computer, often simultaneously with many other tasks. Many processes may exist simultaneously, each taking turns on a CPU. Processes are often called tasks in embedded operating systems. ProcessA process is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of operations or events, possibly taking up time, space, expertise or other resource, which produces some outcome. A process may be identified by the changes it creates in the properties of one or mo Process of Weeding Out Processual archaeology Process gain Process management Process improvement Processor affinity Process music Process identifier Process theory
