A little part of OS modules is processor-dependent. Porting is fitting them for specific processor in hands

Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply.
i am reading the book MicroC/OS by Labrose.
i got a small doubt, i think it looks silly for you.

Is it possible to run multiple tasks at a time? since only one process/task will be under process at any given time.

will there be no meaning of multi tasking in non-preemptive kernels, since the process will not release the processor until it is done it's part.

please reply.

Thanks,
Suresh.
