In this paper a single server preemptive priority queueing system, consisting of two types of units, with unlimited Poisson inputs and exponential service time distributions, is studied. The higher priority units are served in batches according to a general bulk service rule and they have preemptive priority over lower priority units. Steady state queue length distributions, stability condition and the mean queue lengths are obtained.
