An Overview of Existing Tools for Fault-Injection and Dependability Benchmarking in Grids

چکیده
In this paper we review several existing tools for fault injection and dependability benchmarking in grids. We emphasis on the FAIL-FCI fault-injection software that has been developed in INRIA Grand Large, and a benchmark tool called QUAKE that has been developed in the University of Coimbra. We present the state-of-the-art and we explain the importance of these tools for dependability assessment of Grid-based applications and Grid middleware.

Fault-Injection and Dependability Benchmarking for Grid Computing Middleware
In this paper we will present some work on dependability benchmarking for Grid Computing that represents a common view between two groups of Core-Grid: INRIA-Grand Large and University of Coimbra. We present a brief overview of the state of the art, followed by a presentation of the FAIL-FCI system from INRIA that provides a tool for fault-injection in large distributed systems. Then we present...
متن کاملWorkshop On Dependability Benchmarking 2002
Assessing the quality of service of a computer system is a difficult task. A lot of work has been conducted on evaluating quality of service attributes like performance, robustness, and dependability. Two approaches used for evaluating performance and robustness are modeling and benchmarking. For evaluating dependability, modeling can be used either alone or combined with fault injection [Sie92...
متن کاملWhat’s Wrong With Fault Injection As A Benchmarking Tool?
This paper attempts to solidify the technical issues involved in the long-standing debate about the representativeness of fault injection as a tool for measuring the dependability of general-purpose software systems. While direct fault injection seems appropriate for evaluating fault tolerant computers, most current software systems are not designed in a way that makes injection of faults direc...

متن کاملInstrumentation Technique for FPGA based Fault Injection Tool
This paper presents an overview about FPGA based fault injection tools which are developed by using the instrumentation technique or modification in the original code. The fault injection technique is used to evaluate dependability parameters of computer based embedded systems or safety critical systems, by injecting faults in a system. An observation on the behaviour or of the response for bot...
