thanks, and I have a related question. Consider we have only 2 processes with equal priority. Now one of them is switched out for an i/o operation. The second one gains the cpu and executes past its time quantum. Since the other process is not yet ready this process continues to enjoy the cpu. Now will this usage be accounted for a new time quantum for this second process or will it be unaccounted. According to what I understand, the second process will not start its new time quantum until the epoch has ended i.e., the first one also has finished its time quantum. So does this mean the epoch will never end until there is a process in the system who's time quantum is yet to be expired?
