Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus of selecting a preemption technique for a computation unit included in a processor to execute a second task before the at least one computation unit finishes executing a first task. The method includes receiving a preemption request, predicting a cost of preemption techniques based on a progress of the first task until receipt of the preemption request, and selecting one of the preemption techniques based on the predicted cost.
