RE: [rtl] thread-task

[Hai Quang Nguyen]

The difference is probably the concept of task and thread. A task could be a thread or a process depends on system. In RT-Linux, the real-time OS – Real time Linux is a kernel process which will spawn multiple threads as real-time tasks. So, under RT-Linux real-time tasks are threads. Yes, there is a task_struct for each thread, it’s in scheduler header. I have to say RT-Linux have a very neat way to do context switch J   -Hai   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ahmet Mutlu Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 6:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [rtl] thread-task   what is the difference of a task and thread, in system level. i mean is there a task_struct for each thread?
