- baq 13y agoNothing. Otherwise the os would have to stop calling itself preemptive.
- im3w1l 13y agoNow that every gamer has a multi-core processor, couldn't you allocate n-1 of them to the game with guaranteed non-preemption, and have one core where pre-emption can occur?
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoit's kind of a cool idea. I wonder if OS's would ever implement something like this. You would probably need to put some iOS like restrictions on it- only one app at a time, it must be running full screen in focus, and cannot be given that kind of priority in the background. Like having a dedicated built in console system.
