Is non-pre-emptive scheduling frequently used in a computer? Why?..

Answer / Ankur Raghav

Non-pre-emptive scheduling is not as commonly used as pre-emptive scheduling in modern operating systems due to its limitations. Non-pre-emptive scheduling delays the execution of higher-priority processes only when they finish running, which can lead to long delays if a high-priority process takes a long time to run. This scheduling policy is typically used for real-time systems where predictability and minimal latency are crucial.
