Well, first you'll need a subsystem to look into the
future, so you know how much remaining time each
process has.

Once you can look into the future, you can simply sort
the tasks by remaining time and run them in order.

kind regards,

There are now theories as to a changing fine structure constant, so
the speed of light can change as we look back in the past. Once we are
able to change the speed of light ourselves, well, this should become
trivial.
