			SINTRAN III implements timeslicing, needed for timesharing, by dedicating a [[RT Program\|real-time]] background program to each terminal. The priority of these RT background programs are not fixed, but are regularly adjusted by the [[RT monitor]]. Unless in I/O wait the program with the highest priority runs, and the RT monitor lowers the priority of the active program if its allocated time has been consumed. Dedicated real-time programs may still have a higher priority than the highest possible priority of the time-sliced terminal RT background programs (i.e. an RT program not in I/O wait, or otherwise suspended, will have priority).
			Initially the sequence of priorities the background program went through was fixed, but SINTRAN III Release J made this configurable. From SINTRAN III Release K it was also possible to run any RT program as a timesliced program. Prior to SINTRAN III one would have to decide between SINTRAN II for real-time use, or [[NORD-TSS]] for timesharing. SINTRAN III serves both purposes.
