Throw some light on internal process memory...

Answer / Sah Navneet Kumar Ramsuraj

Internal Process Memory, also known as process stack or process control block, is a region of memory allocated to each running process in an operating system. It stores essential information about the state and activities of a process during its execution. The information stored in internal process memory includes CPU registers, program counter, stack pointers, process ID, status flags, and other metadata that help the operating system manage processes efficiently. The primary function of internal process memory is to provide a means for the kernel to switch between multiple running processes seamlessly.
