Можете объяснить, что подразумевается под термином «процесс» в контексте операционных систем?

In the context of operating systems, a process is an instance of a running program. A process contains the program code, data, execution state (such as the instruction pointer), and system resources like open files and memory.

Each process is isolated from others, which ensures system security and stability. The operating system manages processes, allocates resources to them, and provides multitasking, allowing multiple processes to run simultaneously or alternately.
