Embedded Programming: The Task Model

The document discusses the elements that define a task in embedded programming, including a name, unique ID, priority, task control block, stack, and task routine. It notes the key criteria for structuring a program using tasks are parallelism, timing, priority, structure, and periodicity. Effective task design involves balancing a small number of loosely coupled tasks to reduce overhead with a larger number to minimize risk from changes.

EMBEDDED PROGRAMMING

The Task Model

Student: Cristian Ceruta (crcer18)


Task Definition

Elements of a task:
 A name
 Unique ID
 Priority
 Task control block
 Stack
 Task routine
Task Definition

Elements of a task:
 A name
 Unique ID
 Priority
Task vs Function!
 Task control block
 Stack
 Task routine
Task Definition

Criteria for structuring the program by tasks:


 The parallel Criteria
 The timing Criteria
 The priority Criteria
 The structural Criteria
 The periodical Criteria

Note:
Few divided tasks – less loose coupling, bigger risk when changes occur.
Many tasks – may cost overhead
