Java Multithreading Tutorial for Beginners #5: Setting Thread Priority to control CPU allocation @GenuineCoder

Uploaded February 2019 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In this chapter, we will talk about priority of threads in Java. All threads created in Java has a priority assigned to it. By default the priority is 5 and minimum priority is 1. Maximum priority a thread can have is 10.

When there are more than one thread in Java, the CPU resource allocation will be usually dependent based on the priority. A higher priority thread will be getting more share of CPU than a low priority thread compared to it.

We will see the difference in execution time of a certain task when it is executed using multiple threads with different priorities.
