Method, operating system and computing hardware for running a computer program

A method for running a computer program on computing hardware corresponding to a microprocessor, the computer program including multiple program objects, the method comprising:

• detecting errors while the computer program is running on the computing hardware;
• and
• when an error is detected, setting at least one program object that has already been sent for execution into a defined state and restarting the at least one program object from the defined state;
• wherein:
• a permanent error is inferred if the same error occurs again when the at least one program object is executed again;
• a number of repetitions of the at least one program object is limited to a preselectable value;
• and
• the number of repetitions of the at least one program object is dynamically limited to a preselectable value as a function of a remaining time for scheduling.

An electronic medium storing an operating system, the operation system capable of running a computer program on computing hardware corresponding to a microprocessor, wherein the operating system is programmed for executing a method comprising:

• detecting errors while the computer program is running on the computing hardware;
• and
• when an error is detected, setting at least one program object that has already been sent for execution into a defined state and restarting the at least one program object from the defined state;
• wherein:
• a permanent error is inferred if the same error occurs again when the at least one program object is executed again;
• a number of repetitions of the at least one program object is limited to a preselectable value;
• and
• the number of repetitions of the at least one program object is dynamically limited to a preselectable value.

Computing hardware for running a computer program including multiple program objects, comprising:

• an error detection mechanism adapted to detect an error during the running of the computer program on the computing hardware;
• and
• an error handling mechanism which, when an error is detected by the error detection mechanism, causes at least one program object that had already been sent for execution to be set into a defined state and restarted from the defined state;
• wherein:
• a permanent error is inferred if the same error occurs again when the at least one program object is executed again;
• a number of repetitions of the at least one program object is limited to a preselectable value;
• and
• the number of repetitions of the at least one program object is dynamically limited to a preselectable value.
