Abstract
A method in a computer system providing user control over application completion performance and recovering lost computational cycles incurred while running pooling and non-pooling applications concurrently in a priority preemptive operating system. The method and apparatus of the present invention includes identifying the various priority levels in a priority preemptive operating system and providing an automated method for selecting said levels. After the user selection is completed, a scan is conducted to ensure that the selected level will execute prior to starting the application. If the user selected level is too low to execute, a minimum priority level is automatically determined to ensure that the application can execute without delay. The resulting priority is then continuously visually displayed to inform the user of each applications execution eligibility.
