Prioriteettijärjestelmät
Prioriteettijärjestelmät, or priority systems, are methods used to rank tasks, requests, or processes based on their importance or urgency. These systems are crucial in various fields, including computer science, project management, and emergency services, to ensure that the most critical items are addressed first. In operating systems, priority systems are used to allocate CPU time to different processes. A higher priority process will typically receive more processing power than a lower priority process. This helps in maintaining system responsiveness and preventing critical applications from being starved of resources.
In project management, priority systems help teams decide which tasks to work on next. Common methods include
