You could use AVR (arduino), but once you get to most of the ARM
processors it is harder to make them deterministic because of caches.  You
want a processor where the number of clocks is constant for all or almost
all instructions, and is easy enough that you can code the loops by hand.
Code like TVB's divider probably doesn't even use interrupts, it's just a
tight loop where the number of instructions is counted to give the
behavior wanted.
