Quasi-synchronism: a Step Away from the Traditional Fault-tolerant Real-time System Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Distributed fault-tolerant real-time system models have exhibited a trend to polarize themselves in extreme positions. In this paper, we assess the tness of current models to represent the attributes underlying the distributed fault-tolerance of real-time systems. Namely, we are concerned with the correctness issues arising from the temporal properties of interprocess communication: reliable and ordered group communication, replication management protocols, time services, etc. We are particularly concerned with best-eeort or mission-critical systems, where despite the hard need to fulll timing guarantees, this cannot be ensured at all times in a given operational envelope, mandating that the system be highly dynamic and adaptive. In the paper, we suggest quasi-synchronism as a framework to address this kind of systems. We nalize by pointing out some contributions to materialize the model.

A New Design of Fault Tolerant Comparator
In this paper we have presented a new design of fault tolerant comparator with a fault free hot spare. The aim of this design is to achieve a low overhead of time and area in fault tolerant comparators. We have used hot standby technique to normal operation of the system without interrupting and dynamic recovery method in fault detection and correction. The circuit is divided to smaller modules...

This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...
متن کاملModel-based development of fault-tolerant real-time systems
The design of fault-tolerant real-time systems is a complex task. The system must not only satisfy real-time requirements, but it must also deliver the specified functionality in the presence of both hardware and software faults. To achieve fault-tolerance, the system has to use redundancy. This redundancy is usually achieved by replicating hardware units and executing the application within a ...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...
