Context switching is a term used to describe the method used by a kernel to switch between different processes. A context switch can occur at any stage the kernel is called, system calls, during an interrupt or exception. Context switches can occur between instructions(not program statements by assembler). Context switches are transparent to threads and processes except for elasped time. It is the kernels responsibility to save the current context and return it.
