Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for providing prioritized access for multithreaded processing. The method includes the steps of allocating threads to process a workload and assigning a set of priority tokens to at least a portion of the threads. Access to a resource, by each one of the threads, is based on the priority token assigned to the thread and the threads are executed by a multithreaded processor to process the workload.
