Hardware-Software-Co-Synthese zur Verbesserung der Fehlertoleranz
Embedded systems consist of hardware and software and are ubiquitous in safety critical fields, e.g., aerospace. The increasing integration density of modern, digital circuits causes an increasing vulnerability of embedded systems to transient faults. Techniques to protect embedded systems against transient faults, i.e., to increase the fault tolerance of the systems, are often either implement...
متن کاملDistributed Fault Tolerance - Lessons Learned from Delta-4
Software-implemented approaches to fault tolerance are very resilient to change since evolution in hardware technology does not require extensive re-design of specialized hardware. This paper argues the case for implementing fault tolerance in a distributed fashion and reports the approach adopted in the European Delta-4 project. Fault tolerance is achieved by replicating capsules (the run-time...
متن کاملFault-Tolerance Projects at Stanford CRC
This paper describes the fault-tolerant computing research currently active at Stanford University’s Center for Reliable Computing. One focus is on tolerating hardware faults by means of software (software-implemented hardware fault tolerance). This work mainly targets faults caused by radiation induced upsets. An experiment evaluating the techniques that we have developed, is currently running...
متن کاملOn the Extension of Xception to Support Software Fault Models
Software faults are recognized as the major cause of system outages. The two possible approaches to overcome this problem are fault avoidance and fault tolerance. Quality assurance techniques fail to attain the zero defects mark, making fault tolerance vital to assure mission and business critical systems dependability. One major issue is the difficulty in the verification and validation of sof...

An adaptive system diagnosis fault tolerance method for distributed system. The system is comprised of a network including N nodes where N is integer and greater than equal to 3 and each node is able to execute an algorithm to communicate with the network. A computer network, often simply referred to as a network, is a collection of hardware components and computers interconnected by communicat...
