Abstract

An apparatus and method of grouping tasks for execution by a processor, such as a digital signal processor. At least one task datum, is created the task datum including an identifier of a first task, and a reference to a next task datum. The task datum is placed into a task list which may contain references to any number of tasks. A reference is created to a first module datum in the task datum, the first module datum representing a first executable module of the first task. The first module datum is linked with any number of modules having functions related to the first executable module. By grouping the related modules which form a task together, error conditions, and data for each of the tasks and modules may be handled more efficiently. Modules may reference common storage areas they require so that unnecessary loading/saving of data in those common storage areas may be avoided.
