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?
  1. Each Process has its own PCB which is usually stored as a structure.
  2. 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

Are SMT components bad for high voltage applications?

Many assembly factories are asking for SMT jobs, while I think through hole would be a better option for a high voltage application. Before the high voltage project is started, we need to make a call on SMT or Through hole parts. Is there a study on this?

Why are power supplies almost always made using through hole components?

Every computer PSU I’ve taken apart uses through hole components, though occasionally (not in all cases) surface mount components are found on the bottom. Don’t these have to be hand assembled? If so, why are they still doing this? even though labour costs are low in China, it still must cost less for a machine to pick and place SMT stuff.
