چکیده

The paper surveys various software fault tolerance techniques and methodologies. The techniques include traditional techniques: recovery blocks (RcB), n-version programming, n selfchecking Programming, retry blocks (RtB), n-copy programming and some new techniques: adaptive n-version systems, fuzzy voting, abstraction, parallel graph reduction, rejuvenation. The utility for each technique based on its attribution has also been presented.

A Survey of Distributed Fault Tolerance Strategies

Grid computing is defined as geographically distributed, heterogeneity (different hardware, software and networks), resource sharing, multiple administrators, dependable access, and Pervasive access within dynamic organizations. In grid computing, the rate of failure is much greater than in traditional parallel computing. Therefore, the fault tolerance is an important property in order to achie...

A Survey on Software Fault tolerance in Parallel Computing

Software almost inevitably contains defects. Do everything possible to reduce the fault rate; Use faulttolerance techniques to deal with software faults. Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to perform its function correctly even in the presence of internal faults. Most of the ordinary systems lack fault tolerant software fix. This paper surveys various software Fault Tolerance techniques...

Novel Defect Terminolgy Beside Evaluation And Design Fault Tolerant Logic Gates In Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...

Survey of Software Fault Localization

I present a survey of automated techniques for software fault localization. Fault localization or localizing the root cause of failure is one of the most difficult processes in software debugging. Hence, many automated techniques have emerged to help in this process. Most of these techniques are based on the principles used in real life for fault diagnosis. I have used these principles to class...
