The basic unit of work to be performed by the computer. A program typically consists of a number of tasks, such as reading data, performing calculations, and writing output. A common way to parallelize a program is to divide up the tasks and assign one task to each processor or node. For this reason, the term "task" is sometimes used interchangeably with processor or node in discussions of parallel programming.

See: operating system process, process and thread.

A single executing program.

A task operates in parallel with other parts of the program. It is written as a task specification (which specifies the name of the task and the names and formal parameters of its entries), and a task body which defines its execution. A task unit is one of the kinds of program unit. A task type is a type that permits the subsequent declaration of any number of similar tasks of the type. A value of a task type is said to designate a task.

A program unit that is capable of executing concurrently with other tasks. In some systems this type of units is called a process instead of a task. For the definitions of additional Ada terms, see the glossary in the Ada 95 Language Reference Manual.

A construct consisting of a specification and a body whose body is executed in parallel with other tasks in the program.

A command or group of commands that can execute on one object or several objects simultaneously; tasks are not operating system commands or PSL commands. A task runs in the background and is not part of the PATROL Agent run queue; a task icon is displayed for each running task.

A task defines the executables to be run when the task is executed, the authorization role required to execute the task, and the user or group name under which the task will execute. (2) (2) In GSO, the definition of an action that must be routinely performed on various managed nodes throughout the network. A task defines the executables to be run when the task is executed, the authorization role required to execute the task, and the user or group name under which the task will execute.

Uniquely addressable thread of execution.

The central abstraction of a real-time operating system. Each task must maintain its own copy of the CPU instruction pointer and general-purpose registers. Unlike processes, tasks share a common memory space and so programmers must be careful to avoid overwriting other task's code, data, and stack. USAGE: For most practical purposes, the terms task and thread are interchangeable. However, task is preferred when working with real-time operating systems, which generally have just one memory space, whereas thread is more commonly used on multiuser platforms such as Unix or Windows, where multiple threads of execution can run within the memory space of a single process. Any individual computation, set of computations, decision-making logic, or combination thereof that must be performed at run-time by software. When using an RTOS, each task to be completed may be assigned to an individual executable task. This often makes system decomposition and code maintenance easier.

A task is "an execution path through address space". In other words, a set of program instructions that is loaded in memory. The address registers have been loaded with the initial address of the program.

An OpenSTA Test is comprised of one or more Task Groups which in turn are composed of Tasks. The Scripts and Collectors included in Task Groups are known as Tasks. Script-based Task Groups can contain one or multiple Tasks.

Collector-based Task Groups contain a single Collector Task.
