Definition von pre-emption im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
Involuntary switching of a CPU from one task to another User-space is pre-empted by interrupts, which can then either return to the process, or schedule another process (a process switch will also occur when the process "voluntarily" gives up the CPU by e g waiting for a disk block in kernel mode) Kernel mode tasks are never pre-empted (except by interrupts) - they are guaranteed use of the CPU until they sleep or yield the CPU Some kernel code runs with interrupts disabled, meaning nothing except an NMI can interrupt the execution of the code

If a process becomes ready to execute and it has a higher priority than the currently executing process, the “new” process preempts the current process That is, the operating system saves the current process's context and switches to the context of the higher-priority process See also process state transition
U.S. policy that allowed the first settlers, or squatters, on public land to buy the land they had improved. Since improved land, coveted by speculators, was often priced too high for squatters to buy at auction, temporary preemptive laws allowed them to acquire it without bidding. The Pre-Emption Act (1841) gave squatters the right to buy 160 acres at $1.25 per acre before the land was auctioned. The Homestead Act (1862) made preemption an accepted part of U.S. land policy. See also Homestead Movement
