Line 13:
These levels have associated numbers with them. [[Application software|Applications]] start at a base priority level of eight. The system dynamically adjusts the priority level to give all applications access to the processor.
Priority levels 0 - 15 are used by dynamic applications. Priority levels 16- 31 are reserved for real-time applications.

In a [[multiprocessing]] environment with more than one [[logical processor]] (i.e. [[multicore|multiple cores]] or [[hyperthreading]]), more than one task can be running at the same time. However, certain processes can be set to run on only a certain subset of the available processors. This is especially useful in larger systems with a [[NUMA]] architecture, where the process will run faster or slower, depending on which CPU it runs on.
