The kind of real-time software in digital autopilots, etc. is very different from 'data-processing' software, be it PCs or mainframes, which is mostly interrupt-driven.
Hmmm ....

OKAY, but from the report:

One type of fault event associated with the ADIRU model is known as ‘dozing’. Once ‘dozing’ commences, the ADIRU stops outputting data for the remainder of the flight.
I suggest perhaps not different enough.
