public class Task extends TypedCompositeActor
Input and output tokens are not passed directly, but via pointers that point to an address (range) in a shared memory that is controlled by the director of the container of a task. That's why a task has input/output ports for specifying the outputs. The token on the outside of this port specifies the address, where the tokens have to be stored in the shared memory. The inside of this port receives the tokens to be stored. A task works on copies of the data read from memory. A TaskDirector takes care of transferring the outputs and inputs. The TaskDirector also provides a shared memory that is exclusive to all actors within this task. This ensures that a task is free of side effects.
