Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The operation described in the question is a process switch, in which the processor saves the information related to the current process and loads the information related to the next process to be executed. This is a necessary operation to allow multiple processes to run on a single processor, and it involves context switching between the processes. Resource ownership switch, thread switch, and cluster switch are not accurate descriptions of this operation.
