[SystemSafety] Deterministic or not?

[Paul Sherwood]

Peter,

Accepting Dewi's statement that "Prof. Peter Ladkin is one of the 
World's leading experts on practical statistical evaluation of critical 
software", I hope you don't mind me asking you this question directly.

Do you consider that the behaviour of critical software running on a 
multicore microprocessor can and should be deterministic?
