What is predictability? Is it another word for: “Degree of variance”, “Degree of analyzability”, “Repeatability”, “Determinism” What is the notion of a system in this context (model, physical implementation)?
How much performance is one prepared to pay for predictability? How quantify the loss of performance? -Programmer/Development time? -Hardware cost? -Execution time?
How to design multicore architectures? If some core are HRT, can NHRT benefit from knowing this? Can we use high performance cores (like multiple issue, super scalar, e.g. ATOM) Is the memory architecture we have seen today the right one?
When does the RT community deal with realistic platform models?
