  • Single stack kernel
    Patent number: 7401335
    Abstract: A system for allocating memory for execution of computational tasks in an embedded device is described. The system uses a single stack to store the runtime memory for an executing task, and the context for selected suspended tasks, pointers are dynamically set to indicate top of stack locations for the tasks, and context locations for suspended tasks. The amount of memory in the stack is optimized during run time to use the least memory necessary.
    Type: Grant
