A Monitor Processor that has been designed to determine whether the time triggered main processor is about to execute a task that is not in accordance with the active task schedule. A Control Mechanism (such as comprising a System Control output, a Communication Link B, a Reset Link) by means of which the Monitor Processor can halt or reset the Main Processor and take other corrective actions involving devices to which the computer system is connected, if the Monitor Processor determines that the Main Processor is about to execute a task that is not in accordance with the active schedule. Connected devices may be controller, or the processor may be halted or reset. Such TT designs may be used in safety critical systems with multiple system modes. |
