Priority
(gcide) | Priority \Pri*or"i*ty\, n. [Cf. F. priorit['e]. See Prior, a.]
1. The quality or state of being prior or antecedent in time,
or of preceding something else; as, priority of
application.
[1913 Webster]
2. Precedence; superior rank. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
Priority of debts, a superior claim to payment, or a claim
to payment before others.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Antecedence; precedence; pre["e]minence.

priority
(wn) | priority
n 1: status established in order of importance or urgency;
"...its precedence as the world's leading manufacturer of
pharmaceuticals"; "national independence takes priority
over class struggle" [syn: precedence, precedency,
priority]
2: preceding in time [syn: priority, antecedence,
antecedency, anteriority, precedence, precedency]
[ant: posteriority, subsequence, subsequentness] |
PRIORITY
(bouvier) | PRIORITY. Going before; opposed to posteriority. (q.v.)
2. He who has the precedency in time has the advantage in right, is the
maxim of the law; not that time, considered barely in itself, can make any
such difference, but because the whole power over a thing being secured to
one person, this bars all others from obtaining a title to it afterwards. 1
Fonb. Eq. 320.
3. In the payment of debts, the United States are entitled to priority
when the debtor is insolvent, or dies and leaves an insolvent estate. The
priority was declared to extend to cases in which the insolvent debtor had
made a voluntary assignment of all his property, or in which his effects had
been attached as an absconding or absent debtor, on which an act of legal
bankruptcy had been committed. 1 Kent, Com. 243; 1 Law Intell. 219, 251; and
the cases there cited.
4. Among common creditors, he who has the oldest lien has the
preference; it being a maxim both of law and equity, qui prior est tempore,
potior est jure. 2 John. Ch. R. 608. Vide Insolvency; and Serg. Const. La*,

priority processing
(wn) | priority processing
n 1: data processing in which the operations performed are
determined by a system of priorities |
interrupt priority level
(foldoc) | interrupt priority level
The Motorola 68000 family of processors can be at an
interrupt priority level from 0 (no interrupt in progress) up
to 7. While the processor is handling an interrupt at one
level, it will ignore other interrupts at that level or lower.

priority inheritance
(foldoc) | priority inheritance
A technique for avoiding priority inversion by
temporarily raising the prioriry of all processes that want to
access a shared resource to the highest priority level of any
of them. Priority inversion occurs where a low priority
process, L is holding a resource required by a high priority
process, H, but L is not running because a medium priority
process, M is running. Under priority inheritance, L
temporarily inherits H's priority, allowing L to run and
release the resource H is waiting for.
For example, an ambulance (H) is stuck behind a lorry (L)
waiting at a junction (the shared resource) for a gap in a
line of cars (M) using the junction. Applying priority
inheritance, the cars give way to the lorry as they would to
the ambulance, thus allowing the lorry and then the ambulance
to use the junction.

priority interrupt
(foldoc) | priority interrupt
Any stimulus compelling enough to yank one right out
of hack mode. Classically used to describe being dragged
away by an SO for immediate sex, but may also refer to more
mundane interruptions such as a fire alarm going off in the
near vicinity. Also called an NMI (non-maskable interrupt),
especially in PC-land.

priority inversion
(foldoc) | priority inversion
The state of a concurrent system where a high
priority task is waiting for a low priority task which is
waiting for a medium priority task. The system may become
unstable and crash under these circumstances.
In an operating system that uses multiple tasks, each task
(or context) may be given a priority. These priorities help
the scheduler decide which task to run next. Consider
tasks, L, M, and H, with priorities Low, Medium, and High. M
is running and H is blocked waiting for some resource that is
held by L. So long as any task with a priority higher than L
is runable, it will prevent task L, and thus task H, from
running.
Priority inversion is generally considered either as a
high-level design failure or an implementation issue to be
taken into account depending on who is talking. Most
operating systems have methods in place to prevent or take
inversion into account. Priority inheritance is one method.
The most public instance of priority inversion is the repeated
'fail-safe' rebooting of the {Mars Pathfinder
(http://research.microsoft.com/~mbj/Mars_Pathfinder/Mars_Pathfinder.html)}.
base station ('Sagan Memorial Station').

priority queue
(foldoc) | priority queue
A data structure with three operations: insert a
new item, return the highest priority item, and remove the
highest priority item. The obvious way to represent priority
queues is by maintaining a sorted list but this can make the
insert operation very slow. Greater efficiency can be
achieved by using heaps.

priority scheduling
(foldoc) | priority scheduling
Processes scheduling in which the
scheduler selects tasks to run based on their priority as
opposed to, say, a simple round-robin.
Priorities may be static or dynamic. Static priorities are
assigned at the time of creation, while dynamic priorities are
based on the processes' behaviour while in the system. For
example, the scheduler may favour I/O-intensive tasks so
that expensive requests can be issued as early as possible.
A danger of priority scheduling is starvation, in which
processes with lower priorities are not given the opportunity
to run. In order to avoid starvation, in preemptive
scheduling, the priority of a process is gradually reduced
while it is running. Eventually, the priority of the running
process will no longer be the highest, and the next process
will start running. This method is called aging.

set priority level
(foldoc) | Set Priority Level
(SPL) The way traditional Unix kernels implement {mutual
exclusion} by running code at high interrupt priority levels
and thus blocking lower level interrupts.
