Process Management: Keeping It
Organized
Linux excels in managing multiple processes simultaneously, ensuring efficient
resource allocation and task execution. Through process creation, scheduling,
and termination, Linux effectively orchestrates the execution of programs and
maintains system stability.

Process Creation

Create new processes to handle tasks and execute programs, ensuring efficient resource utilization.

Scheduling

Allocate resources and determine order of execution to optimize system


performance and responsiveness.

Termination

Safely terminate processes, freeing up resources and ensuring system stability.


Security and Scheduling:
Safeguarding and Optimizing
Linux places significant emphasis on security and scheduling to protect user data
and achieve optimal performance. Through robust security mechanisms and
intelligent scheduling algorithms, Linux prioritizes resource allocation, preventing
unauthorized access and ensuring smooth operation of critical processes.

Memory Management: Efficiency
at Its Core
Efficient memory management is vital for a smooth-running system. Linux
employs various techniques, such as virtual memory, paging, and caching, to
optimize memory usage and minimize the overhead on physical resources.

Virtual Memory

Expands the effective memory size, allowing processes to use more memory
than physically available.

Paging

Divides memory into fixed-size blocks (pages) for efficient allocation and utilization.

Caching

Stores frequently accessed data in memory to reduce the delay in accessing information.
