process in primefaces equals to execute in JSF

process : Determines id’s of components to be processed(sent/submitted to server).

update in primefaces equals to render in JSF

update : Determines id’s of components to be updated (refreshed with updated values from server).

If you want to learn about those two tags (and more) you should read this blog post :

After that you should know that primefaces process and update can also use a more powerful selectors, read more here
