<h1 class="topictitle1">Job and thread priorities</h1>
<div><p>An <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> thread
competes with threads throughout the system for scheduling resources in addition
to competing with other threads in the same job.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The system schedules processing resources by using a delay cost
scheduler that is based on several delay cost curves (priority ranges).</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>On <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>,
numerically lower priority values indicate higher priority with regard to
scheduling. Adding its thread priority adjustment value to the job's priority
specifies the priority of a thread. The default priority for a thread is no
change from the process priority or a thread priority adjustment value of
zero. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can directly affect the application performance by assigning
different thread priority adjustment values to the threads in your application.</p>
