	Priority queue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The simplest way to implement a priority queue data type is to keep a list of records containing elements and priorities; removing an element requires searching the list sequentially for the element with the highest priority.
		Priority queuing can be used to manage limited resources such as bandwidth on a transmission line from a network router.
		Another use of a priority queue is to manage the events in a discrete event simulation.

	Rob Krten's Articles and Publications: Device Drivers, Realtime Systems, Fractals, USENET News, Priority Inversion, ...
		Priority inversion is defined as an interference between two threads at different priorities, with the thread at the lower priority preventing the thread at the higher priority from getting CPU time.
		In the mutex case, above, the priority of L is boosted to match the priority of the highest priority thread that's waiting for the mutex (H in this case).
		The priority inversion problem stems from the fact that M is lower priority than X, and a lower priority thread should not prevent a higher priority thread from running.

	Encyclopedia: Cahn Ingold Prelog priority rules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For compounds found in organic chemistry, the Cahn Ingold Prelog priority rules are used to determine the orientation of a molecule for purposes of assigning stereochemistry at a stereocenter and for assigning the name of isomers of molecules possessing double bonds such as alkenes.
		After the substituents of a stereocenter have been assigned their priorities, the molecule is so oriented in space that the group with the lowest priority is pointed away from the observer.
		If the lowest priority substituent is assigned the number 1, and the highest 4, then the sense of rotation of a route passing through 4, 3 and 2 distinguishes the stereoisomers.

	Introduction to Priority Inversion - real-time operating system, RTOS, preemption, fixed priority scheduling
		Priority inversion is the term for a scenario in which the highest-priority ready task fails to run when it should.
		This priority change should take place as soon as the high-priority task begins to pend; it should end when the resource is released.
		A beneficial feature of the priority ceiling solution is that tasks can share resources simply by changing their priorities, thus eliminating the need for semaphores.

		The Priority Number is made up of a Country Code (2 letters), the year of filing (4 digits) and a serial number (variable, 7 digits) A serial number having less than 7 digits must be completed to 7 digits by adding leading zero"s.

		This priority is used when known investigation information makes it possible that the observed condition is an FAD/EDI, but cannot be distinguished from an endemic disease/condition; and rapid laboratory diagnostic information is necessary.

		Priority's price-to-sales ratio is down to 1.5 from a high of 3.1, and it's on track to post annual earnings of 91 cents per share this year, and $1.25 a share in 2000, a 37% year-over-year earnings growth rate.
		Priority's price-to-earnings ratio based on the 2000 projection is 20, meaning it's undervalued compared with its expected growth rate.

	Thread Scheduling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		If two threads of the same priority are waiting for the CPU, the scheduler arbitrarily chooses one of them to run.
		Here is another applet, one that implements a fair race, in which both runners have the same priority and an equal chance of being chosen to run.
		The reason is that a system that is not time sliced chooses one of the equal-and-highest priority threads to run and allows that thread to run until it relinquishes the CPU (by sleeping, yielding, or finishing its job) or until a higher-priority preempts it.

	What really happened on Mars?
		Tasks on the Pathfinder spacecraft were executed as threads with priorities that were assigned in the usual manner reflecting the relative urgency of these tasks.
		However, very infrequently it was possible for an interrupt to occur that caused the (medium priority) communications task to be scheduled during the short interval while the (high priority) information bus thread was blocked waiting for the (low priority) meteorological data thread.
		The mutex in question had been initialized with the parameter off; had it been on, the low-priority meteorological thread would have inherited the priority of the high-priority data bus thread blocked on it while it held the mutex, causing it be scheduled with higher priority than the medium-priority communications task, thus preventing the priority inversion.

	Embedded.com - How to use priority inheritance
		Priority inversion occurs when a high-priority task is forced to wait for the release of a shared resource owned by a lower-priority task.
		Bounded priority inversion, shown in Figure 1, occurs when low-priority Task L acquires a lock on a shared resource, but before releasing the resource is preempted by high-priority Task H. Task H attempts to acquire the resource but is forced to wait for Task L to finish its critical section.
		The priority ceiling must be higher than the highest priority of all tasks that can access the resource, thereby ensuring that a task owning a shared resource won't be preempted by any other task attempting to access the same resource.

	Legal Definition of Priority
		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.
		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 vol-untary 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.

	Priority Inheritance: The Real Story
		In this case his hypothesis is that priority inheritance is blindly used by engineers as a panacea for all priority inversion problems, and, because it has drawbacks under certain conditions, it is therefore dangerous and should never be used.
		Priority ceiling emulation is an attractive choice when the set of threads contending for the lock is known, when there may be nested locks, and when worst-case behavior is the only concern.
		Priority inheritance and priority ceiling emulation are both effective and powerful techniques to prevent uncontrolled priority inversion when locks are used to protect critical sections in a real-time system.

	Thread Priority on Solaris
		Unfortunately the default priority of native threads in the TS and IA scheduling classes is the highest possible priority.
		Conversely, a benefit of using lower relative priorities is that in the TS and IA scheduling classes a thread running at lower priorities receives a longer quantum, assuming that it's not preempted mid-quantum by higher priority threads that become ready.
		This, in turn, changes the thread's native priority and potentially changes the priority of the LWP on which the native thread is running.

	Intel® Priority Packet - Overview, Installing and Using Priority Packet II
		Intel Priority Packet is a utility that lets you set up priority filters to process high priority network traffic before normal traffic.
		Priority packet tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expediting) allows the adapter to work with other components of the network (switches, routers) to deliver packets based on priority level.
		While High Priority Queue (HPQ) does not provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p and IP ToS tagging, it does assign traffic as either high or low priority, and sends high priority packets first.

		To be assigned an Emergency provisioning priority, the need for a service has to be so critical that the service must be provisioned at the earliest possible time, without regard to the cost to the service user.
		By passing a provisioning priority to the prime service vendor, the service user is immediately liable to pay the prime service vendor any authorized costs associated with provisioning the service within a shorter than standard interval.
		Essential TSP service provisioning priority levels (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) are requirements by which the service vendor is to adjust its resources to meet the service due date.
