When a process is removed by the operating system from the CPU, the information on the current condition of that process needs to be stored, so it is possible restore the process to the same condition when it is return to the CPU. Explain how the relevant information on the condition is stored, and provide two examples of what information is stored. (b) (i) Explain why priorities are used by operating systems when scheduling processes.

Provide your opinion on the following statement: Process scheduling plays a large part in operating systems' normal routine! Contrast long-term vs. short-term scheduling
assuming that there are two processes in secondary memory that are prepared to run. The first process is the most crucial, whilst the second is the least crucial, in terms of the processes. One process can only be active at once in the main memory. Describe how the CPU carries it out. You have the choice to describe the procedure utilizing any part of the CPU.
