  1. Zombie process: They do not take any up physical memory.
  2. Processes locked in memories that are updating the region of the process.
  3. Kernel swaps only the sleeping processes rather than the 'ready-to-run' processes, as they have the higher probability of being scheduled than the Sleeping processes.
