Scheduling is an operating system function that assigns CPU time to processes. _________ can be in three states: running, ready or blocked.

• Processes

• Paging

• Polling

The scheduler moves processes from the waiting to the ready state and places them in the ready queue. Each process in the queue will have a unique process ID and will be assigned a priority. The latter value can change to ensure that processes do not remain in the _________ state indefinitely

• blocked

• queued

• stopped

• timed

_______ splits a process into multiple parallel units of execution

• threading

• polling

• time-slicing

• multi-threading

________ operating systems are capable of handling threads of processes by providing logical execution pathways

• threading

• multi-threading

• polling

• time-slicing
