Abounded response to events is the key to defining a hard real-time system. Real-time systems require determinism to ensure predictable behavior. Without determinism, systems can't be called real-time. And without bounded determinism, systems can't be classified as hard real-time. Full-featured operating systems (OSs) such as Windows aren't deterministic, but some designers may believe that faster processors can achieve a semblance of determinism. The level of determinism required is a...
