Evaluation of Fault Handling of the Time-Triggered Architecture with Bus and Star Topology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arbitrary faults of a single node in a time-triggered architecture (TTA) bus topology system may cause error propagation to correct nodes and may lead to inconsistent system states. This has been observed in validation work using software implemented fault injection (SWIFI) and heavy-ion fault injection techniques in a TTA cluster. In a TTA system, the membership and the clique avoidance algorithms detect state inconsistencies and force the nodes that do not have the same state with the state of majority of nodes, to restart. Changing the interconnection structure of the cluster to a star topology allows the use of star couplers that will isolate faults of a node, thus guaranteeing consistency, even in the presence of arbitrary node failures. The same SWIFI and heavy-ion fault injection experiments that caused error propagation in bus-based TTA clusters, were performed in the star configuration. No error propagation was observed in a TTA system with the star topology during the execution of SWIFI and heavy-ion experiments

Formal analysis of fault tolerant algorithms in the time-triggered architecture
Formal Model Layers The basis for the formal analysis work has been given in Chapter 2. It introduces adequate formal models to analyse distributed algorithms at different levels of abstraction. We have presented a formalization of the untimed synchronous system model, and a ground model for time-triggered systems. In particular, we have introduced abstract models of the communication network t...
متن کاملFault Type Estimation in Power Systems
This paper presents a novel approach for fault type estimation in power systems. The Fault type estimation is the first step to estimate instantaneous voltage, voltage sag magnitude and duration in a three-phase system at fault duration. The approach is based on time-domain state estimation where redundant measurements are available. The current based model allows a linear mapping between the m...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of the DECOS Fault-Tolerant Communication Layer
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the fault-tolerant communication (FTCOM) layer of the DECOS integrated architecture. The FTCOM layer implements different agreement functions that detect and mask errors sent either by one node using replicated communication channels or by redundant nodes. DECOS facilitates a move from a federated to an integrated architecture which means that n...

Among the COTS applications in the X2000 architecture for deep-space missions, the use of commercial bus standards is the highest-payoff COTS application since a bus interface has a global impact and enabling effect on system cost and capability, respectively. While COTS bus standards enable significant cost reductions, it is a great challenge for us to deliver a highly-reliable long-term survi...
متن کاملA Performance Study of Photonic Local Area Network Topologies
Network topology significantly affects the system performance of local area networks. The bus topology was considered for optical local area networks since the degradation of system performance due to propagation delay could be reduced. Power budget constraints severely limited maximum system size which diminished its appeal. On the other hand, the star topology was shown to have excellent fano...
