- FORTH MULTITASKING IN A NUTSHELL
- by Brad Rodriguez
- T-Recursive Technology
-
- Multitasking in Forth is very simple, incredibly powerful
- and widely misunderstood. This talk will describe what
- multitasking can do, and when it can be profitably used.
- The most common Forth multitasker -- the cooperative,
- round-robin model -- will be explored in general terms.
- Example code will be given for F83, which will be used
- to illustrate how to create and control parallel tasks,
- protect shared resources with semaphores, and pass
- messages between tasks. Preemptive and prioritized
- multi taskers will be mentioned briefly
