MEMSY A Modular Expandable Multiprocessor System with Fault Tolerance

Architecture and Realization of the Modular Expandable Multiprocessor System MEMSY

Abstract The experimental multiprocessor system MEMSY2 will be described. This system was built to validate the concept of a scalable multiprocessor architecture based on local shared-memory. Main application areas are scientific computations with high demand for processing power and memory capacity. In designing the hardware architecture the extensive use of standard components and fault toler...

MEMSY - A Modular Expandable Multiprocessor System

In this paper the MEMSY experimental multiprocessor system is described. This system was built to validate the MEMSY architecture a scalable multiprocessor architecture based on locally shared-memory and other communication media. It also serves as a study of different kinds of application programs which solve a variety of real problems encountered in scientific research.

Comparison-based Diagnosis in Fault- Tolerant, Multiprocessor Systems

In any system the toleration of faults in the individual components is achieved through redundancy. Redundancy can have many forms: spatial (modular) redundancy, temporal redundancy and redundancy of information. In a typical multiprocessor system of today the plurality of its processors can be exploited in two ways: (1) as redundancy for fault tolerance or (2) as combined computing power for i...

Adaptable Fault Tolerance Configurations for Multiprocessor Systems

The escalating increase in the complexity of multiprocessor systems increases the probability of faults occurring in these systems As a consequence there is a great need for achieving fault-tolerance of processing in multiprocessor systems. Faulttolerance generally requires some forms of hardware and/or time redundancy. Two fault tolerant configurations are proposed for both single and double t...
