Abstract
This invention relates to embedded processing systems used for industrial, commercial, and medical automated systems in which microprocessors or digital signal processors are employed to perform a plurality of distinct tasks based on real-time events and conditions. In particular, this invention provides an efficient processing system and environment in which a variety of application threads may share the processing bandwidth and system resources cooperatively and efficiently, with minimized coupling of the application threads to each other and system resource control details.
