In this article will discuss the Computer Support function and status in kompuer processing. As we know that the brain of the computer is processing.Pro cessor executes computer programs. Processor is a chip in a computer system that runs the program instructions computer. In every second the processor can run millions of instructions. The program is a series of instructions given to a computer. While the process is a part of the program at a certain status in a series of execution. In the discussion Operating System, we more often discuss the process compared with the program. In a modern operating system, at one time not all programs loaded in memory, but only one portion of the program. While other parts of the program remains rest in disk storage media. Only in times of need alone, part of the program is loaded in memory and executed by the processor. This is very save memory consumption.

Some systems run only a single process at a time, while others run a multi-process at a time. Whereas most computer systems have only one processor, and a processor can only run one instruction at a time. So how a single processor system can run multi-process? Surely, in a very small granularity, the processor only runs one process at a time, then quickly he moved to run other processes, and so on. Thus for the vision and sense of human users, as if the processor run several processes simultaneously. Read more: The function and status in computer processors
