[[Category:Encyclopedia]]A '''process''' is an instance of a computer program. This is not to be confused with a [[thread]], which is a section of code which runs concurrently with other sections of code, or a program, which is a list of instructions. Threads are technically part of a process. For instance, in a [[Java]] GUI program, many GUI actions are handled on a separate thread from the rest of the program, but it all still runs in a single process.
