<<This sounds like an interesting project, but I am curious why it is called
real-time, which usually means that each transaction must be completed by
a specific deadline>>

In the most commonly used terminology, what you describe is called *hard*
realtime. The designation realtime without the hard does not imply that
thee are deadlines that must be met.
