Additional Information

• The Insert Process system call inserts a process into the active process queue so that NitrOS-9 can schedule the process for execution.
• NitrOS-9 sorts all processes in the queue by process age (the count of how many process switches have occurred since the process’s last time slice). When a process is moved to the active process queue, NitrOS-9 sets its age according to its priority—the higher the priority, the higher the age.
• An exception is a newly active process that was deactivated while in the system state. NitrOS-9 gives such a process higher priority because the process usually is executing critical routines that affect shared system resources.
