Multiprocessor Performability Analysis
Conclusions Performability models of multiprocessor systems and their evaluation are presented. Two cases in which hierarchical modeling is applied are examined. 1. Models are developed to analyze the behavior of processor arrays of various sizes in the presence of permanent, transient, intermittent, and near-coincident faults. Models can be generated for typical reconfiguration schemes that co...
متن کاملSHARPE 2002: Symbolic Hierarchical Automated Reliability and Performance Evaluator
SHARPE is a well known package in the field of reliability and performability, used in universities as well as in companies. A modeler who is familiar with many different kinds of models, can easily choose models that best suit a particular system and the kind of measure that is needed at each stage of the design. It is also possible to use different kinds of models hierarchically for different...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to Architecture-Based Software Reliability Prediction
Prevalent approaches to software reliability modeling are black-box based, i.e., the the software system is treated as a monolithic entity and only its interactions with the outside world are modeled. However, with the advancement and widespread use of object oriented systems design and web-based development, the use of component-based software development is on the rise. Software systems are b...
متن کاملStochastic Modeling Formalisms for Dependability, Performance and Performability
In this chapter, we discuss practical issues regarding analytical modeling of complex computer systems. We compare diierent model types in terms of their strengths and weaknesses for model construction, eeciency and accuracy of solution algorithms and the desired performance measures. The basic concepts of performance, dependability and performability modeling are introduced using the example o...
متن کاملEffects of failure correlation on software in operation
Since the early 1970’s a number of models have been proposed for estimating software reliability. However, the realism of many of the underlying assumptions and the applicability of these models continue to be questioned. Our research work was motivated by the fact that although there are practical situations in which the assumption of independence among successive software failures could be ea...
