This section covers details regarding the priority settings within Hercules. The relevant system parame- ters are:
Process Priorities
| Unix Process Priority | Windows Priority Class | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| -20 to -16 | Realtime | Process that has the highest possible priority. The threads of the process preempt the threads of all other processes, inclu- ding operating system processes performing important tasks. For example, a real-time process that executes for more than a very brief interval can cause disk caches not to flush or cause the mouse to be unresponsive. |
| -15 to -9 | High | Process that performs time-critical tasks that must be executed immediately. The threads of the process preempt the threads of normal or idle priority class processes. An example is the Task List, which must respond quickly when called by the user, re- gardless of the load on the operating system. Use extreme care when using the high-priority class, because a high-priority class application can use nearly all available CPU time. |
| -8 to -1 | Above Normal | Process that has priority above the Normal class but below the High class. |
| 0 to 7 | Normal | Process with no special scheduling needs. |
| 8 to 15 | Below Normal | Process that has priority above the Idle class but below the Normal class. |
| 16 to 20 | Low | Process whose threads run only when the system is idle. The threads of the process are preempted by the threads of any process running in a higher priority class. An example is a screen saver. The idle-priority class is inherited by child pro- cesses. |
Windows
Caution: On Windows, the value you choose for your process priority has a direct impact on how your thread priorities are interpreted! You should never modify one without understanding what impact you are doing so might have on the other!
Thread Priorities
| Unix Thread Priority | Windows Thread Priority | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| -20 to -16 | Time Critical | Base priority of 15 for Idle, Below Normal, Normal, Above Normal, or High class processes, and a base priority of 31 for Realtime class processes. |
| -15 to -9 | Highest | Priority 2 points above the priority class. |
| -8 to -1 | Above Normal | Priority 1 point above the priority class. |
| 0 to 7 | Normal | Normal priority for the priority class. |
| 8 to 15 | Below Normal | Priority 1 point below the priority class. |
| 16 to 19 | Lowest | Priority 2 points below the priority class. |
| 20 | Idle | Base priority of 1 for Idle, Below Normal, Normal, Above Normal, or High class processes, and a base priority of 16 for Realtime class processes. |
Windows
Caution: On Windows, your Thread Priority is interpreted differently based on your chosen Process Prio- rity setting! You should never modify your Thread Priority settings without first reviewing your chosen Pro- cess Priority setting!
