#102934 - Multitasking Responding to: ???'s previous message |
From what I have seen at conferences and in RTOS literature, I think Jan has it correct: "Some which has at least protected memory management".
At some point industry had to come up with a definition of multitasking and I think this is where the dust has now settled. So what of the RTOS's and other frameworks for "lesser" cpus - those that don't have protected memory management? Not sure but I guess we can still use "multi-threaded", or maybe "executive" or "kernel" but even the term multi-threaded has been hijacked by desktop OS and application writers. I think if the desktop folks would have used "Multi-application" at the higher level and "multi-thread" for the threads within an application, then we might have been left with "multi-tasking" since the chunks of code that operate "concurrently" (or at least APPEAR TO) on our 8051's have really got to be called "tasks". Or maybe we are multi-subroutine-ing? ;-) GB |
