Abstract

A method and a control unit for controlling technical procedures, particularly in a motor vehicle. In the method, a control program of a computing element, particularly a microprocessor, is processed. The control program is subdivided into several tasks and each task is subdivided into several processes. The tasks are processed in a cooperative mode or in a preemptive mode. After the processing of the control program, in order to make possible a simulation as close to reality as possible, particularly an offline open loop simulation, it is proposed that the process sequence be stored during the processing of the control program. Preferably, before the processing of the control program, a unique identifier is assigned to each process, and, during the processing of the control program, only the identifier of the processed process most recently processed before the beginning of a finished task is stored.
