What is the state of the processor, when a process is
waiting for some event to occur?

Answer Posted / ravi a joshi

I don't think there is any relation between processor state
and process state. They are independent. However they are
loosely coupled through the operating system. Assuming that
the OS you are using is multi-processing OS, then, whenever
a process P1 is waiting for some resource, the OS scheduler
puts P1 in sleep mode and allows other scheduled processes
to run. Hence, the processor state will always be running.

In case, there are no more processes to run, then, the
processor enters NOP or WAIT state.
