This is a little simulation to give you an idea of how the processes manager works.
You will see a list of processes, each has the name of its application and its status.
At the beginning, all of the processes will be grey, meaning they are not running
Click on a process to make it run. It will turn green.
If the status includes WAITING, that means it is for an input/ouput operation from a
peripheral device. At this point the CPU has nothing to do, so it is probably better
to switch to another process.
If the status is not waiting, it means that the CPU has work to do. If the process
spends too long in this state, the application can become unresponsive. It will
turn orange if it has waited so long that the user will notice that is it running slowly.
If it turns red it means that it has become unresponsive (this is bad!)
The system will become more overloaded as time goes by.
See how long you can go without any processes becoming unresponsive.
