This project uses the
`thread definition of Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(computing)>`_:
"a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed
instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is
typically a part of the operating system."
It consists normally of a set of registers and a stack. The scheduler
assigns processors to a subset of the ready tasks. The terms task and
${thread:/term} are synonym in RTEMS. The term task is used
throughout the Classic API, however, internally in the operating system
implementation and the POSIX API the term thread is used.
A *task* is a ${softwarecomponent:/term}.
