Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
applying sensor data generated by one or more sensors of a vehicle to a program configured to generate an output using the sensor data;
executing the program to generate the output, at least in part, by:
generating an ordered representation of the program across a plurality of nodes, each associated with a respective task within the program;
executing, in one or more first portions of the ordered representation, a first task associated with a first node of the plurality of nodes;
responsive to the executing the first task, transmitting, from the first node, an event report and a node-originating trigger, wherein the event report is generated by the first node and transmitted to a manager monitoring the execution of the program and the node-originating trigger is transmitted to a second node of the plurality of nodes subsequent the first node using the one or more first portions of the ordered representation;
based at least on the manager determining, using the event report, a condition for triggering one or more second portions of the ordered representation is satisfied, transmitting, by the manager, a manager-originating trigger to the second node according to the ordered representation; and
based at least on the second node receiving both the node-originating trigger and the manager-originating trigger, executing a second task associated with the second node in the one or more second portions of the ordered representation; and
performing one or more operations by the vehicle based at least on the output of the program.
