稱為 static priority；之後在執行的期間，排程器會藉由動態增減的方式來調整優先順序，此為 dynamic priority。
real-time 行程的優先順序則是 1 (highest priority) 至 99 (lowest priority)，又稱為 real-time priority。
Static priority
用來決定行程的 CPU 使用時間(base time quantum)，優先順序愈高(數字愈小)，執行時間也就愈長。
行程的 static priority 是繼承其父行程而來，也可以藉由設定 nice 值來做修改。
Dynamic priority
作為排程器挑選行程來執行的優先順序，dynamic priority 會在行程執行期間隨 bonus 值調整。
bonus 是一個 0 至 10 的數值；小於 5 時，表示對行程的優先權做調降；大於 5 時，則是做調升。
下表列出與行程的優先權相關的參數：
