Process Priority
/ˈprəʊ.sɛs ˈpraɪ.ɒr.ɪ.ti/
noun — “because some processes are more impatient than others.”
Process Priority is a scheduling attribute assigned to each process by the operating system that determines how much CPU time it should receive relative to other processes. By assigning different Process Priority levels, the OS can ensure that critical tasks run promptly while less urgent tasks wait their turn.
