An Operating System Infrastructure for Fault-Tolerant Reconfigurable Networks

چکیده
Dynamic hardware reconfiguration is becoming a key technology in embedded system design that offers among others new potentials in dependable computing. To make system designers benefit from this new technology, powerful infrastructures and programming environments are needed. In this paper, we will propose new concepts of an operating system (OS) infrastructure for reconfigurable networks that allow to efficiently design fault-tolerant systems. For this purpose, we consider a hardware/software solution that supports dynamic rerouting, hardware and software task migration, hardware/software task morphing, and online partitioning. Finally. we will present an implementation of such a reconfigurable network providing this OS infrastructure.

Adaptive Distributed Manufacturing Control
Future manufacturing environments will be flexible and highly automated with control systems built as networks of computers. These computers will be expected to be adaptable, reconfigurable and fault-tolerant, operating autonomously and yet cooperating to perform the manufacturing task. This MICRO project has focused on the infrastructure required for building distributed manufacturing control ...
متن کاملChameleon: Software Infrastructure for Adaptive Fault Tolerance
This paper presents Chameleon, an adaptive infrastructure, which allows different levels of availability requirements to be simultaneously supported in a networked environment. Chameleon provides dependability through the use of special ARMORs—Adaptive, Reconfigurable, and Mobile Objects for Reliability—that control all operations in the Chameleon environment. Three broad classes of ARMORs are ...
متن کاملFault tolerant system with imperfect coverage, reboot and server vacation
This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...
متن کاملModeling and Design of Fault-Tolerant and Self-Adaptive Reconfigurable Networked Embedded Systems
Automotive, avionic, or body-area networks are systems that consist of several communicating control units specialized for certain purposes. Typically, different constraints regarding fault tolerance, availability and also flexibility are imposed on these systems. In this article, we will present a novel framework for increasing fault tolerance and flexibility by solving the problem of hardware...
