Erlang uses a preemptive scheduler for process scheduling, allowing for parallelization on multiple CPUs, while Scala distinguishes between thread-based and event-based actors. Thread-based actors can perform long-running computations without hindering other actors, but use more memory and scheduling overhead. Event-based actors are more lightweight but not suitable for parallelism as they execute on the same thread.
