3 * (c) The GHC Team 2001-
5 * The task manager subsystem. Tasks execute STG code, with this
6 * module providing the API which the Scheduler uses to control their
7 * creation and destruction.
9 * Two kinds of RTS builds uses 'tasks' - the SMP and the
10 * 'native thread-friendly' builds.
12 * The SMP build lets multiple tasks concurrently execute STG code,
13 * all sharing vital internal RTS data structures in a controlled manner
14 * (see details elsewhere...ToDo: fill in ref!)
16 * The 'threads' build has at any one time only one task executing STG
17 * code, other tasks are either busy executing code outside the RTS
18 * (e.g., a C call) or waiting for their turn to (again) evaluate some
19 * STG code. A task relinquishes its RTS token when it is asked to
20 * evaluate an external (C) call.
