"Probability of missing a deadline only because of a hardware failure"
Good point, I may just need to invert the whole thing, so that it
becomes something like:
i. Probability of missing a deadline due to software,
ranging from 0 to 1, with the value of 0 corresponding
to the hardest possible hard realtime.
But then the "p^n" becomes "1-(1-p)^n". Bleah.
Sounds good!
OK, how about the following?
i. Probability of meeting a deadline in absence of hardware
failure, ranging from 0 to 1, with the value of 1
corresponding to the hardest possible hard realtime.
