 Heaps and Priority Queues
Priority queues are often used in the implementation of algorithms.
Typically the problem to be solved consists of a number of subtasks and the solution strategy involves prioritizing the subtasks and then performing those subtasks in the order of their priorities.
In general, it is possible for users to submit documents for printing much more quickly than it is possible to print them.

 Priority Queues and the STL
Notice for example that node 10 has a higher priority (39), than node 3, which is two levels higher up in the tree.

 Topic #15
A good implementation for this type of queue would be a priority queue, to optimize the overall processing time of jobs.
Thus, a priority queue can be used to find either a minimum or a maximum, but this needs to be known a priori.
The priority could be set de pending on how long the process has been waiting (to avoid starvation), and could also depend on who started the process (e.g.

 Linux Priority-Queue Scheduler
The assignment of tasks to a priority queue is only based on the non-affinity goodness value of a particular task.
At scheduling time, the search for a suitable task to run can be limited to a certain priority range defined by the top most priority task in the system and priority boost given for tasks running on the same processor and on the same memory map.
It then reacquires the runqueue lock and all tasks that previously had a zero counter value, are still enqueued in the lowest priority queue which is not considered for scheduling.

 The priority queue Data Abstraction
A more computer-related example of a priority queue is the list of pending processes maintained by an operating system, where the value associated with each element is the priority of the job.
An everyday example of a priority queue is the to do list of tasks waiting to be performed that most of us maintain to keep ourselves organized.
A priority_queue is a data structure useful in problems where you need to rapidly and repeatedly find and remove the largest element from a collection of values.

 Linux Clustering with Ruby Queue: Small Is Beautiful Linux Journal
The first task I faced when creating Ruby Queue (rq) was to work out the issues with concurrent access to NFS shared storage, and the first bridge I had to cross was how to accomplish NFS-safe locking from within Ruby.
Ruby Queue uses YAML extensively both as input and output format.
This happens when two clients have an NFS file open and one of them removes it, causing the the NFS server to rename the file something like ".nfs123456789" until the second client is done with it and the file truly can be removed.

 Homework Help!! Priority Queue ??
Because processes are added to the queue in random places, based on their PR, they're stored via a binary tree.
In other words, some form of a penalty must be in place the longer high priority processes have to wait in the queue.
In addition, I'm currently working on something like a "reheapify" function which can be called at any time, and it "fixes" any inconsistencies in the binary tree should the PR of a process be changed.

 Heap (Priority Queue) Management in Hardware (ICS-FORTH)
This novel heap management algorithm can be used in ASIC implementation of WRR schedulers, where each level of the heap tree is stored in a separate memory, so that multiple heap operations can proceed in parallel, each of them operating on a different level of the tree.
The hardest and most interesting scheduling algorithms rely on a common computational primitive: priority queues.
Critical time priority queues require hardware instead of software management.

 A Heap Based Priority Queue
When such a node is added, it must be moved from its position as the last element in the heap to the first, by tracing a path from its current position to the root of the heap.
First, of all the data structures considered, the heap was the simplest to implement and debug.
The data structure used in this scheduler implementation is known as a Binary Heap.

New tasks are inserted on a person or computer's priority queue, keyed by their importance.
Whenever the person or computer has some free time, he/she/it removes the most important task from the queue and takes care of it.
Carrying out this task may involve putting new tasks on your queue - "put on coat" and "walk to meeting," not to mention any new tasks that arise during the meeting itself.

 [Python-Dev] Priority queue (binary heap) python code
Schemes that store (priority, object) tuples to exploit lexicographic comparison are convenient to code but a nightmare if priorities can ever be equal, and object comparison can raise exceptions, or object comparison can be expensive.
It's a mountain of fairly sophisticated code with an interface so rich that it's genuinely hard to learn how to use it as intended -- the latter especially should appeal to just about everyone .

The reason I say this is the most general discipline is that the priority can be based on anything: what time a flight leaves, how many groceries the customer has, or how important the customer is. Of course, not all queueing disciplines are "fair," but fairness is in the eye of the beholder.
