    Abstract: A method to dynamically adjust priority may include providing a boost, by a processing device, to an element relative to at least one other element in response to a boost feature associated with the element being activated. Providing the boost to the element may include providing a predetermined longer duration of use of a shared use resource to the element relative to the at least one other element based on a boost setting associated with the element. The boost results in adjusting a priority of the element by allowing the element to complete a task in a shorter time period.
