Well… sorry, I'm not asking :) As you probably can see, I'm trying to
give some input of basic Scal@Grid assumptions and to hear some
opinion back from people who believes they're men on this.

I agree with your statements/terms above and RT as a science on the
end – there is no magic or questions around - too much info is
available from lots of universities, papers, researches, etc.
And of course there is no question for FT and HA, techniques,
approaches, methodologies, but...
But let me please to continue in a different way. We will remove a
science, a fault tolerance, HA and other thing that can confuse you,
James (in advance – please be sure - I'm really happy that I found you
and you can express your opinion on the subject)

So, we're considering some system that (we think so here) can
guarantee (by some way that is not important at this step) meeting its
deadlines with a given (by the operator) probability. It uses some
techniques that adapts to the given (read - required) probability and
actually proves that it achieves the requirement with the probability.
Does it mean a system is a HRT?    why/thoughts (?)

We imply here that true HRT is impossible in reality and any single
system that exists in the word meets hard real-time requirements with
some probability. If it does not – HRT speaks of system failure.

Please note, we speak of free programmable generic system here,
something like a programmable logic microcontroller for custom
application development. Any systems like DSP/matrix/etc are out of
scope.
