Abstract
A method and system for executing a plurality of threads are described. The method may include mapping a thread specified priority value associated with a dormant thread to a thread quantized priority value associated with the dormant thread if the dormant thread becomes ready to run. The method may further include adding the dormant thread to a ready to run queue and updating the thread quantized priority value. A thread quantum value associated with the dormant thread may also be updated, or a combination of the quantum value and quantized priority value may be both updated.
