A context switch is the computing process of saving and
restoring the state (context) of a CPU such that multiple
processes can share a single CPU resource. The context
switch is an essential feature of a multitasking operating
system.
Context switches are usually time consuming and much of the
design of operating systems is to minimize the time of
context switches.
