Error-Injection-Based Failure Characterization of the IEEE 1394 Bus
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the behavior of the IEEE 1394 bus in the presence of transient errors in the hardware layers of the protocol. Software-implemented error injection is used to introduce errors into the internals of the 1394 bus hardware chipset. Results from this study indicate that the IEEE 1394 bus protocol provides robust network communication in the presence of single-bit errors in the chipset.

The Design of a Fault-Tolerant COTS-Based Bus Architecture for Space Applications*
The high-performance, scalability and miniaturization requirements together with the power, mass and cost constraints mandate the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and standards in the X2000 avionics system architecture for deep-space missions. In this paper, we report our experiences and findings on the design of an IEEE 1394 compliant fault-tolerant COTS-based bus architecture...
متن کاملAn Empirical Analysis of the IEEE-1394 Serial Bus Protocol
Recently, we have begun to see a convergence of traditional network and bus technologies. The IEEE-1394 Serial Bus Protocol (FireWire) is a good example of this convergence, targeting the interconnection of consumer electronics, computers, and peripheral devices. IEEE 1394 provides for a high-speed, plug-and-play, peer-to-peer interconnect supporting both asynchronous and isochronous traffic. I...
متن کاملThe Design of a Fault-Tolerant COTS-Based Bus Architecture
In this paper, we report our experiences and findings on the design of a fault-tolerant bus architecture comprised of two COTS buses, the IEEE 1394 and the I2C. This fault-tolerant bus is the backbone system bus for the avionics architecture of the X2000 program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. COTS buses are attractive because of the availability of low cost commercial products. However, they...

The Network Of Workstations (NOWs) is the trend for distributed computing, and the costeffectiveness of networking system is one of the key issues for NOWs. The IEEE 1394 bus can be a cost-effective solution for linking a network of computers, in this paper, we tested the performance of IEEE 1394 on the Linux system, and discussed how to improve the IEEE 1394 performance towards cluster computi...
متن کاملCOTS-Based Fault Tolerance in Deep Space: Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of a Bus Network Architecture
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...
