Techniques of Software Fault Tolerance

چکیده

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to perform its function correctly even in the presence of internal faults. We should accept that, relying on software techniques for obtaining dependability means accepting some overhead in terms of increased size of code and reduced performance (or slower execution). N-version programming achieves redundancy through the use of multiple versions. Failures are detected by comparing the results of the different versions. In this paper we will discuss the techniques of software fault tolerance such as recovery blocks, N-version programming, single version programming, multi-version programming, Comparison of N-Version with recovery block .

Object Fault

Traditional modular redundancy based upon software fault tolerance techniques, such as N-version programming and recovery blocks, is now widely known and its use is on the increase. By contrast, data fault tolerance techniques have been largely ignored. The most likely reason for this omission is the perception that implementations are highly complex. Fortunately this situation has been greatly...

Design, Testing, and Evaluation Techniques for Software Reliability Engineering

Software reliability is closely influenced by the creation, manifestation and impact of software faults. Consequently, software reliability can be improved by treating software faults properly, using techniques of fault tolerance, fault removal, and fault prediction. Fault tolerance techniques achieve the design for reliability, fault removal techniques achieve the testing for reliability, and ...

Challenging Malicious Inputs with Fault Tolerance Techniques

Most of the attacks attempt an initial activation which means the first occurrence of an error provoked by the fault. If its unable to stop the propagation, a fault will be transformed into a failure, causing consequences. This paper presents an exploratory research about the integration of fault tolerance aiming defenses against malicious inputs. When a fault occurs, these techniques provide m...

An approach to fault detection and correction in design of systems using of Turbo ‎codes‎

We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...
