- When high priority processes continue to run while low priority processes are stalled for an indeterminate period of time, this is known as starvation.
- A continual stream of higher-priority processes in a densely loaded computer system can prevent a low-priority operation from ever receiving the CPU. When resources are scarce, high-priority processes consume them continuously.
- Aging can help to tackle the problem of hunger. The importance of long waiting processes is increasingly raised as people age.
- High-priority processes continue to run, whereas low-priority activities are halted.
- High-priority processes consume resources on a constant basis.
- Processes are ranked in order of importance.
