Această lucrare prezintă un model de simulare pentru evaluarea soluţiilor de asigurare a toleranţei la defecte în sistemele distribuite de mari dimensiuni. Modelul extinde simulatorul MONARC prin adăugarea de noi funcţionalităţi pentru evaluarea toleranţei la defecte. Modelul descrie defecte ce pot apărea în astfel de sisteme şi include mecanisme pentru detecţia si corecţia acestora. În cadrul ...

We show that trie 2D XY-model with random phase shifts exhibits for low temperature and small disorder a phase with quasi-long-range order, and that the transition to trie disordered phase is noi reentrant. These results are obtained by heunstic
