• Software "Interconnect" complexity

    From Don Y@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 2 13:39:46 2022
    In a given, nominal task (collection of related threads), how many
    "external interfaces" (hooks to/from other tasks) do you typically
    have?

    Complexity is best managed when the number of such interactions is kept
    small and focused. But, what is a good target metric for this?

    [Clearly, each task needs to interact with at least one other task/driver
    to do meaningful work. But, at what point is it's focus too "scatterbrained" suggesting a refactoring is indicated?]
