process priorities

[Carlo Fernando]

How would you determine the best priority value for a multi-threaded process?

Hi,
determining the priority of a multi threaded process depends on the application it is using. whereas you can change the priority using 'nice'.

[Vincenzo Restuccia]

nice [-n priority_change] command [command_args]

trial and error!
I don't think with performance tuning that there is a perfect model.. this is something you should more or less experiment with.

Hi Carlo,

For multi threaded process u have to determine the priority on basis of importance and type of applications,etc. there are no standard vales.
U can change the priority of processes using nice(while initiating) and renice(folr process already running).
