| The easiest way thinking about the problem is to develop a system of **direct execution**, where when a process needs to run, the operating system gives full control of the CPU to that process, and the process executes and eventually gives control of the CPU back to the operating system. Under this scheme, the execution of a program on an operating system using a direct execution model would look like this: | ||

| So, whenever a program needs to use a functionality outside of the ones it can directly access, it will make a **syscall**, requesting that the operating system perform some function for it. C programmers may already be familiar syscalls like `read()`, `write()`, `open()`, and `close()`.When a syscall is made, the program gives control of the CPU to the OS and the CPU switches to kernel mode. The OS will then execute the requested instruction, return to user mode, and switch back to the process: | ||

| The process of an OS choosing to take a process out of its running state is commonly referred to as **preemption**. To enforce preemption, modern CPUs implement a configurable timer that triggers a hardware **interrupt** at regular intervals. This interrupt traps control of the CPU back to the operating system, allowing the operating system to choose whether or not it wants to continue running that process or not: | ||
