Tasks are from usability -point of view almost same. They are switched according their priority and -availability. Jobs are different. They are designed to execute single function at -the time and when this function exits it executes another. It cant interrupt -execution when more important task come. So why use jobs instead of tasks? Task -requires for their run stack memory and during whole live of task is this memory -taken. This limits number of tasks running. Jobs are sharing same stack and only -one function has data on it at the time. This results in less memory consumption. -Another huge difference is how planing works. Tasks are planned based on priority. -Task with higher priority will run unless it isn't suspended. Jobs don't have -priority, but they have to specify time until they should be finished (deadline) -and duration of execution. With these two parameters jobs planner can plan their -execution. |
