minrequestedpriority
Minrequestedpriority is a term used in computing to denote the minimum priority level that a given request or task must be assigned by a scheduler or resource manager. It is typically specified alongside an actual requested priority and is used to enforce a lower bound on the service level that the system should attempt to provide. The exact interpretation of this value can vary between systems, but it generally serves to influence how resources are allocated when multiple requests contend for CPU time, I/O bandwidth, or other shared resources.
In practice, minrequestedpriority is implemented as an integer or as an enumerated category (for example, low,
The effect of minrequestedpriority depends on the system’s policies. If the minimum can be honored, the request
