<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions provide access to the
<I>Program Priority Register</I>
(PPR) on the Power architecture.
<P>
The PPR is a 64-bit register that controls the program's priority.
By adjusting the PPR value the programmer may improve system
throughput by causing system resources to be used more
efficiently, especially in contention situations.
The available unprivileged states are covered by the following functions:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1">*<DD>
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_med</B>()
sets the Program Priority Register value to
<I>medium</I>
(default).
<DT id="2">*<DD>
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_very_low</B>()
sets the Program Priority Register value to
<I>very low</I>.
<DT id="3">*<DD>
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_low</B>()
sets the Program Priority Register value to
<I>low</I>.
<DT id="4">*<DD>
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_med_low</B>()
sets the Program Priority Register value to
<I>medium low</I>.
</DL>
<P>
The privileged state
<I>medium high</I>
may also be set during certain time intervals by problem-state (unprivileged)
programs, with the following function:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="5">*<DD>
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_med_high</B>()
sets the Program Priority to
<I>medium high</I>.
</DL>
<P>
If the program priority is medium high when the time interval expires or if an
attempt is made to set the priority to medium high when it is not allowed, the
priority is set to medium.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
The functions
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_very_low</B>()
and
<B>__ppc_set_ppr_med_high</B>()
will be defined by
<I>&lt;<A HREF="file:///usr/include/sys/platform/ppc.h">sys/platform/ppc.h</A>&gt;</I>
if
<B>_ARCH_PWR8</B>
is defined.
Availability of these functions can be tested using
<B>#ifdef _ARCH_PWR8</B>.
