preemptible

In any given system design, some operations performed by the system may not be preemptible.

The multithreaded, fully preemptible kernel delivers much faster performance for core system functions and enterprise applications.

Initially, all ES40s will be permitted to run any job that meets any of the "special" criteria (parallel, large-memory, short-walltime or preemptible).

When disabled interrupts are used to prevent priority inversion, there are only two priorities: preemptible, and interrupts disabled.

The distinction between user mode and kernel mode, which determines privilege level within the system, may also be used to distinguish whether a task is currently preemptible.

TROPIX has a fully preemptible kernel and many specialized system calls to manipulate and coordinate the execution of real-time processes.

This might not be such an issue, except for the fact that the current hardware and graphics pipeline implementations are not designed to be preemptible or maintain security boundaries.

Numerical examples show that it is frequently the case that a good combination of preemptible and non-preemptible service performs better than both the standard preemptive and non-preemptive queues.

This method allowed the real-time kernel to convert the guest operating system into a system that was completely preemptible but that could still directly control, for example, storage devices.

The kernel is built on these only, making QNX "fully preemptible, even while passing messages between processes; it resumes the message pass where it left off before preemption."

Changes were made in the PBS scheduler to improve the handling of large memory jobs, make the system more responsive to short test jobs and allow greater flexibility in scheduling preemptible jobs.

However, the complexities of a fully preemptible design resulted in later versions of Fiasco to return to the traditional L4 approach of running the kernel with interrupts disabled, except for a limited number of preemption points.

This artists, musicians, and performers group led by Billy Luetzen found a location for a new venue with an owner willing to allow preemptible use of the building for virtually no cost; an abandoned fur and leather factory in northeast Minot.

Special assembly space segment service consisting of one unprotected preemptible 6/4 GHz Full Period Whole RF Channel service using the Company's Anik E1 satellite on the specifically designated channel which will no longer be available due to facility management constraints after 31 August 1999.
