Does prefect support preemption?

hi @Max Eggers can you explain more what you mean?

Something along the lines of: One flow run at a time concurrency limit Flow Run A is running Higher priority Flow Run B wants to start Flow Run A is paused Flow Run B starts and runs to completion Flow Run A resumes

@Nate I also wonder if prefect supports this. I'm planning to schedule requests for a single limited computing device like GPU. But if prefect preempts a running process, what happens with GPU memory? Might be deallocated?
