Preemptive Scheduling	Non-Preemptive Scheduling
A scheduling discipline is preemptive if, once a process has been given the CPU can take away.	A scheduling discipline is non-preemptive if, once a process has been given the CPU, the CPU cannot be taken away from that process.
Preemptive algorithms are driven by the notion of prioritized computation. The process with the highest priority should always be the one currently using the processor. If a process is currently using the processor and a new process with a higher priority enters, the ready list, the process on the processor should be removed and returned to the ready list until it is once again the highest-priority process in the system	Non-preemptive algorithms are designed so that once a process enters the running state(is allowed a process), it is not removed from the processor until it has completed its service time
Preemptive system provide for more predictable response times because a high-priority event is served immediately.	A non-preemptive system depends on all tasks being “good citizen” by voluntarily giving up the processor to be sure all tasks get a chance.
In preemptive case, systems are subject to resource conflict problems that must be carefully considered.	In non-preemptive case there is no guarantee how long it will be before the currently running task gives up the process
