# nOS-V model
2022-08-31 11:31:55 +02:00
The nOS-V runtime is composed of tasks that can be scheduled to run in
threads. Tasks can be paused and resumed, leaving the CPUs free to
execute other tasks. The nOS-V model tracks the state of each task as
well as the state of the runtime internal state.

## Task type colors
In the Paraver timeline, the color assigned to each nOS-V task type is
computed from the task type label using a hash function; the task type
id doesn't affect in any way how the color gets assigned. This method
provides two desirable properties:
- Invariant type colors over time: the order in which task types are
created doesn't affect their color.
- Deterministic colors among threads: task types with the same label end
up mapped to the same color, even if they are from different threads
located in different nodes.
