The data is sent asynchronously Server based/mediated (server typically is the Push Initiator) The Push Initiator submits a request to the Hosted Data Push Service which contains delivery instructions and the payload

Java based kernel

Utilizes an ARM architecture with an Intel XScale processor 16 x 32-bit registers, 1 processor status register and a load/store architecture ARM does not manufacture its own CPU chips, but licenses it to other manufacturers to integrate them into their own system

Employs co-operative multitasking.

All applications run simultaneously and are managed by an application server. Each application at startup, receives an execution thread. At no time preemption can occur between applications However, the task will take several seconds.
Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology 2011-12 11

Communication between OS and threads is done by a messaging system.

Like event-driven systems, applications receive messages describing system events and associate parameters. Then, they post them to threads to process.

BlackBerry is an event-driven Operating System.

Applications process the events. Since the process is completed, they call the RIMGETMESSAGE function to receive the next event. If there is no event, the application blocks the send process, allowing other applications to run.

If also other applications do not have any event to process, the application puts the CPU in a standby state until the next event.
There are two ways of sending messages between two tasks: synchronous and asynchronous.
Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology 2011-12 13

applications send message to another application messages queue by calling RimPostMessage.

The destination receives messages. The sending process continues execution immediately after the call to RimPostMessage.

Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology 2011-12

Applications send messages to other applications message queue by calling RimSendMessage and blocks the sending process until it receives responses from the destination.
The destination application receives the messages by calling RimGetMessage, put it in the queue and processes all earlier events in its message queue. Then, it processes the message, and any result of the processed message is sent to the location specified by the sending process (if applicable).
Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology 2011-12 15

The sending application is unblocked and it returns form RimSendMessage. Thus, in order to avoid deadlock from occurring, when you write an application, you should run the synchronous sends in background threads.

Memory usage managed by : BlackBerry Java Virtual Machine

JVM allocates memory, performs garbage collection, and automatically swaps data between SRAM and flash memory. JVM must also share available memory between the BlackBerry device applications and the BlackBerry Java Application.
