	Preemption (law) information - Search.com
		Conflicts preemption is where it is impossible to comply with both the federal statute and the state or local law.
		The second type of implied preemption is preemption because state law impedes the achievement of a federal objective.
		This type of preemption occurs when a state or local law interferes with a goal or objective Congress was trying to attain with a federal statute.

		Preemption can be enabled in one of three ways.
		The precendence of preemption methods from least to most distruptive is suspend, checkpoint, requeue, and cancel.
		NOTE: If suspend based preemption is selected, then the signal used to initiate the job suspend may be specified by setting the SUSPENDSIG attribute of the RMCFG parameter.

	Deadlock Summary
		In the computing world deadlock refers to a specific condition when two or more processes are each waiting for another to release a resource, or more than two processes are waiting for resources in a circular chain (see Necessary conditions).
		Computers intended for the time-sharing and/or real-time markets are often equipped with a hardware, or hard, lock which guarantees exclusive access to processes, forcing serialization.
		A "no preemption" (lockout) condition may also be difficult or impossible to avoid as a process has to be able to have a resource for a certain amount of time, or the processing outcome may be inconsistent or thrashing may occur.

		Preemption priority defines a relative importance (rank) within the set of flows competing to be admitted into the network.
		Preemption Priority takes effect only when a set of flows attempting admission through a node represents overbooking of resources such that based on CAC some would have to be rejected.
		Preemption Priority: 16 bit (unsigned) The priority of the new flow compared with the defending priority of previously admitted flows.

		Preemption is the ability to interupt a kernel mode process.
		Kernel Preemption strives towards a CPU that is performing "higest priority processing" at any given time slice and is both art and technique.
		Preemption is important to "real time" applications running in Virtual Machines (DomU) as well in the scheduling of multiple VMs (Dom0).

		The basic idea behind the preemption patches is to create opportunities for the scheduler to be run more often and minimize the time between the occurrence of an event and the running of the schedule() kernel function.
		The preemption patches do this by modifying the spinlock macros and the interrupt return code so that if it is safe to preempt the current process and a rescheduling request is pending, the scheduler is called.
		The effect of the preemption patch modifications is to reduce the amount of time between when an wakeup occurs and sets the need_resched flag and when the scheduler may be run.

		Hard preemption may be a requirement to protect numerically lower preemption priority traffic in a non Diff-Serv enabled architecture, but in a Diff-Serv enabled architecture, one need not rely exclusively upon preemption to enforce a preference for the most valued traffic since the marking and queuing disciplines should already be aligned for those purposes.
		In the case that reservation availability is restored at the point of preemption, the point of preemption MAY issue a Resv message with the preemption pending flag unset to signal restoration to the head-end LSR.
		In the event a local preemption is needed, the relevant priority level LSPs from the cache are soft preempted first, followed by the normal soft and hard preemption selection process for the given priority.

	Ars Technica: Linux.Ars (12/24/2003)
		Whether your computer is executing 1000 tasks simultaneously or 10, the scheduler will always take the same amount of time to pick the next task.
		Preemption enables a process to be stopped at any time, allowing a higher-priority process to be started.
		The ability to deal with different amounts of computational resources, from small embedded CPUs to massive 64-processor supercomputers, is called "scaling;" it is one of the new kernel's many strengths.

	Dynamic Route Clearance for Emergency Vehicles
		Further, it is possible to have unnecessary preemption for the intersection signals that are not on the emergency route if they happen to be located in the line of sight.
		And in congested city traffic, even when the preemption signal is received relatively early in the emergency vehicle's approach to a traffic signal, it may be difficult for motorists to clear the intersection in time.
		To evaluate the route-based dynamic preemption system, Kwon and his team used VisSim™ microscopic traffic simulation software interfaced to an external virtual control center module, which was developed by the researchers using the C programming language.

		Preemption is the switching of one task to another.
		Because kernel preemption is the standard in Linux 2.6, we describe how full kernel and user preemption operates in Linux.
		There are two possibilities for implicit kernel preemption: Either the kernel code is emerging from a code block that had preemption disabled or processing is returning to kernel code from an interrupt.

		Computing "Unreserved TE-Class [i]" We first observe that, for existing TE, details on admission control algorithms for TE LSPs, and consequently details on formulas for computing the unreserved bandwidth, are outside the scope of the current IETF work.
		As with existing TE, DS-TE LSRs MUST consider the holding preemption priority of established LSPs (as opposed to their setup preemption priority) for the purpose of computing the unreserved bandwidth for TE-Class [i].

		Indeed, all the usefulness of computer science ingenuity lies hidden in the subjective meaning of the symbols and simply doesn't occur until the computed result is applied to the context of the question solved.
		By contrast, a digital computer patented in terms of an algorithm would prevent use by all computer architectures (known or later developed), in all computer languages, for all utilities, that is, it preempts computer use of the algorithm.

	Computer multitasking Summary
		Multitasking is accomplished because the computer's CPU is able to switch from one task to another so quickly that is appears to the user that all programs are operating at the same time.
		Another reason for multitasking was in the design of real-time computing systems, where a number of possibly unrelated external activities needed to be controlled by a single processor system.
		Large computer systems were sometimes built with a central processor(s) and some number of I/O processors, a kind of asymmetric multi-processing.

		When a computer is used in a real-time-control situation, the solution usually fits the model described in Figure 1.
		The preemption time (see Figure 3) is the average time for a high-priority task to preempt a running low-priority task.
		Preemption usually occurs when the high-priority task goes from a suspended or sleeping state to a ready state because either the high-priority task wakes up from a previously initiated sleep, or some event or signal that the task was waiting for is recognized.

		Additional computing capacity can be obtained at a potentially significant cost advantage by simply adding CPU modules to the system rather than by adding a new system to a more loosely coupled network-server arrangement.
		The kernel protects itself by preventing context switching (process preemption) until an executing process has reached a safe point, i.e., usually when it is about to leave kernel context.
		In the following discussion of preemption safety, each criterion for safe preemption is presented as it relates and leads to an understanding of correct multiprocessing synchronization.

	Reconfigurable Computing Primer - FPGAs, dynamic reconfiguration, configurable computing
		Reconfigurable computing allows system designers to execute more hardware than they have gates to fit, which works especially well when there are parts of the hardware that are occasionally idle.
		The principal benefits of reconfigurable computing are the ability to execute larger hardware designs with fewer gates and to realize the flexibility of a software-based solution while retaining the execution speed of a more traditional, hardware-based approach.
		This has even led us to use the marketing slogan “Obsolescence is Obsolete” because reconfigurable computing enables the addition of new features in the field, allows rapid implementation of new standards and protocols on an as-needed basis, and protects their investment in computing hardware.
