A High-Performance and Fault-Tolerant Flow Control Method for Enterprise Servers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network routers for parallel enterprise servers need faulttolerance as well as high performance to support a seamless value chain of e-business. This paper introduces a new cut-through flow control method, called the pathfinder, which provides an efficient restarting capability without the extra header delivery overhead for normal non-faulty routes. We present the router architecture and the detailed operational protocols of the pathfinder flow control method in this paper. Keywords— Enterprise Server, Interconnection Network, Flow Control, Fault Tolerance

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints
A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...
متن کاملFault tolerant nano-satellite attitude control by adaptive modified nonsingular fast terminal control
In this paper, an adaptive fault tolerant nonlinear control is proposed for attitude tracking problem of satellite with three magnetorquers and one reaction wheel in the presence of inertia uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator faults. Firstly, sliding surface variable is chosen based on avoiding the singularity of control signal and guaranteeing the convergence of attitude trackin...
متن کاملUnification of Replication and Transaction Processing in Three-Tier Architectures
In this paper we describe a software infrastructure that unifies replication and transaction processing in three-tier architectures and, thus, provides high availability and fault tolerance for enterprise applications. The infrastructure is based on the Fault Tolerant CORBA and CORBA Object Transaction Service standards, and works with commercialoff-the-shelf application servers and database sy...
متن کاملThe Design and Evaluation of a Practical System for Fault-Tolerant Virtual Machines
We have implemented a commercial enterprise-grade system for providing fault-tolerant virtual machines, based on the approach of replicating the execution of a primary virtual machine (VM) via a backup virtual machine on another server. We have designed a complete system in VMware vSphere 4.0 that is easy to use, runs on commodity servers, and typically reduces performance of real applications ...
متن کاملIntegrated Fault-detection and Control of DC Microgrids Using SDRE Observer-controller
In this paper, using the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique, a suboptimal fault-tolerant control scheme is designed for a DC microgrid in the islanded mode. The objectives are the voltages control of the photo-voltaic cell, the battery, the capacitor bank, and the DC bus as well as on time fault detection. In the design procedure of the SDRE observer-controller, a nonlinear mathe...
