A method for non-preemption of interchangeable tasks is disclosed. The method for non-preemption of interchangeable tasks includes identifying a first task assigned to a first time slice, identifying a second task assigned to a subsequent time slice, comparing the first task to the second task, identifying whether the first task and the second task are interchangeable tasks, and executing the first task during the subsequent time slice in response to the first task and the second task being interchangeable. The first task may be currently executing on a processor or may be scheduled to execute on the processor.
