The task's priority is set to the priority ceiling of the resource, thus no task that may lock the resource is able to get scheduled. This ensures the OCPP property that "A task can only lock a resource if its dynamic priority is higher than the priority ceilings of all resources locked by other tasks". [2]
In real-time computing, priority inheritance is a method for eliminating unbounded priority inversion.Using this programming method, a process scheduling algorithm increases the priority of a process (A) to the maximum priority of any other process waiting for any resource on which A has a resource lock (if it is higher than the original priority of A).
Priority ceiling protocol With priority ceiling protocol, the shared mutex process (that runs the operating system code) has a characteristic (high) priority of its own, which is assigned to the task of locking the mutex. This works well, provided the other high-priority task(s) that tries to access the mutex does not have a priority higher ...
The separation of mechanism and policy [1] is a design principle in computer science.It states that mechanisms (those parts of a system implementation that control the authorization of operations and the allocation of resources) should not dictate (or overly restrict) the policies according to which decisions are made about which operations to authorize, and which resources to allocate.
In this example, should several objects be suspended from the ceiling, each with a different ladder nearby supporting an empty-handed monkey, the conflict set would contain as many production rule instances derived from the same production "Holds::Object-Ceiling". The conflict resolution step would later select which production instances to fire.
For example, a system with two dual-core hyper-threaded CPUs presents a challenge to a scheduling algorithm. There is complete affinity between two virtual CPUs implemented on the same core via hyper-threading, partial affinity between two cores on the same physical processor (as the cores share some, but not all, cache), and no affinity ...

Linux is an example of a monolithic-kernel operating system with kernel preemption. The main benefit of kernel preemption is that it solves two issues that would otherwise be problematic for monolithic kernels, in which the kernel consists of one large binary. [5] Without kernel preemption, two major issues exist for monolithic and hybrid kernels:
