ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed methods, computing devices and software products that seek to reduce memory/processor overheads in static priority scheduled operating systems by reducing the number of resource contexts that need to be saved and restored when running a plurality of tasks. This may be achieved by forming mutually-exclusive non-pre-emption groups of tasks, and/or by determining which tasks share a common resource.
