Comparison and Integration of Three Diverse Physical Fault Injection Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
— pin-level fault injection, heavy-ion radiation, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) — and their use in the validation of MARS, a faulttolerant distributed real-time system. The objectives of this study are: (i) to validate the fault-tolerance features of the MARS system, and (ii) to gain a better understanding of the features and impact of the three fault injection techniques. Coverage measures and validation goals are defined and discussed. In addition, the target system and the specific experimental setups for the three fault injection techniques are described.

Integration and Comparison of Three Physical Fault Injection Techniques
This paper describes and compares three physical fault injection techniques—heavy-ion radiation, pin-level injection, and electromagnetic interference—and their use in the validation of MARS, a fault-tolerant distributed real-time system. The main features of the injection techniques are first summarised and analysed, and then the MARS error detection mechanisms are described. The distributed t...

This paper addresses the issue of characterizing the respective impact of fault injection techniques. Three physical techniques and one software-implemented technique that have been used to assess the fault tolerance features of the MARS faulttolerant distributed real-time system are compared and analyzed. After a short summary of the fault tolerance features of the MARS architecture and especi...
متن کاملAssessment and Comparison of Physical Fault Injection Techniques List of Publications
This thesis deals with the problem of validating and estimating the effectiveness of error handling mechanisms in computer systems. The main contribution is an assessment of the effectiveness and usefulness of several physical fault injection techniques. The assessment is based on fault injection experiments conducted on the fault-tolerant, distributed, real-time system MARS and the Thor microp...
متن کاملFault Injection into VHDL Models: The MEFISTO Tool1
This paper focuses on the integration of the fault injection methodology within the design process of fault-tolerant systems. Due to its wide spectrum of application and hierarchical features, VHDL has been selected as the simulation language to support such an integration. Suitable techniques for injecting faults into VHDL models are identified and depicted. Then, the main features of the MEFI...
