The best explanation i have found is this:

Quote:
If you look at pstat -a output, you can deduce that PID number is PSLOT number times a factor plus some offset.

This page seems also to be helpful.

Maybe some guys who have attended the "kernel internals" class could expand on that?

May i ask about the background of this question?

I hope this helps.
