Multitasking:
- Multiprogramming
is a fundamental form of parallel process in which several programs
are run at the same time on a processor. In the case of a computer with a
single CPU, only one task is said to be running at any point in time,
meaning that the CPU is actively executing instructions for that task.
Multitasking solves the problem by scheduling which task may be the
one running at any given time, and when another waiting task gets a turn. The
most commonly used personal computers usually run such OSs
