What i have an approach in mind is that, as both the process have the same priority and stuff, the round robin or timeslice mechanism would come in action and a certain timeslice would be given to the processes and once they are executed, the processor will again look for a higher prioirty task and then execute it first and so on...
Please let me know if there are some other ideas for this

@cunomad, you don't have a choice then...randomly pick one and finish that off...if that creates issues, then use some selection criteria to pick whihc one to finihs....and finihs that...does not sound good though...

RTOS, can also use 'Earliest Deadline First Scheduling' to decide which process to run first. ie. The process which is closest to its dealine, will be scheduled for execution first.
