What is the state of processor, when a process is
waiting for some event to occur?
Answer Posted / n@v@neeth@
Since they have asked for the state of the processor it
will be in the idle state for some time. As it depends on
the processor ie if its unix/linux it supports round robin
scheduling. so processor assigs some time slice for each
process.
so if one process is waiting for some event it switches to
other process after a particular time slice(Round Robin
Scheduling).
