Absolutely Positively on Time: What Would It Take?

Despite considerable progress in software and hardware techniques, when embedded computing systems absolutely must meet tight timing constraints, many of the advances in computing become part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Although synchronous digital logic delivers precise timing determinacy, advances in computer architecture and software have made it difficult or impossible ...

Despite a sustained and massive increase in spending with the NHS, the evidence that care has improved, other than in areas of performance that have been intensively managed or rewarded by additional cash bonuses, is poor to non-existent.
