Thread Priority

1 = MIN_PRIORITY, 10 = MAX_PRIORITY

int P = myThread.getPriority();

myThread.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);

As long as a thread of priority P is in the ready state, no thread of priority less than P will be moved to the runnable state.

For threads of equal priority, CPU resources are shared, round-robin style.
