Scalable Fault Tolerance in Multiprocessor Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evolving trends in design and use of computers are resulting in fault-prone systems which may not execute a program to completion. Checkpoint-and-recovery is commonly used to recover from faults and complete parallel programs. Conventional checkpointing-and-recovery can incur high overheads and may be inadequate in the future as faults become frequent. We propose to execute parallel programs deterministically to tolerate faults at lower overheads and scalably.

An Event-driven Approach to Multiprocessor Diagnosis
For constructing fault tolerance mechanisms in large massively parallel multiprocessor systems, a scalable fault diagnosis is necessary, which works efficiently even if there are several thousand processors in the system. In this paper we present an event-driven, distributed system-level diagnosis algorithm, based on a general diagnosis model which does not limit the number of simultaneously ex...
متن کاملFault Tolerance for Multiprocessor Systems Via Time Redundant Task Scheduling
Fault tolerance is often considered as a good additional feature for multiprocessor systems but nowadays it is becoming an essential attribute. Fault tolerance can be achieved by the use of dedicated customized hardware that may have the disadvantage of large cost. Another approach to fault tolerance is to exploit existing redundancy in multiprocessor systems via a task scheduling software stra...
متن کاملAdaptable 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...
متن کاملAnalysis of Selective Fault - Tolerant , Hard Real - Time
An increasing number of applications are demanding real-time performance from their multiprocessor systems. For many of these applications, a failure may produce disastrous results. Such failures are avoided in hard real-time systems by the use of fault-tolerance. In hard real-time multiprocessor scheduling, this fault tolerance may be provided by including several task backups in each schedule...
