Specification of performance targets

For some applications, the best way to specify the performance target may not be an average pre-deadline speed or an equivalent DVS algorithm, but rather a target fraction of deadlines to make, e.g., to say that 99% of tasks should complete by their deadline. In future, we would like to devise a way for RightSpeed to meet this kind of performance target with high accuracy and energy efficiency.
