Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?

Each Process has its own PCB which is usually stored as a structure.
A linked list of PCBs’ is maintained to keep track of all the processes.

Though it may be implemented differently on various operating systems, the basic concept is this much only. So, all in all, you might say that there is a process list that consists of PCBs’ of all the processes.

What Others Are Asking

Is it true that PCB antennas can be tuned by only changing their length?

My PCB antennas fail to achieve resonance, though I have changed their length. Our new product project is obstructed due to this problem now. Are there any good solution else?

What are some of the benefits and downsides of moving from a two layer PCB with components on a single side, to a four layer PCB with components on both sides?

We got a quotation sheet of four layers board but it greatly exceed our budget. So now we are thinking about reduce layers to save cost. Does this solution work?
