AUTOMATIC SYNTHESIS OF FAULT-TOLERANCE By Ali Ebnenasir Fault-tolerance is an important property of today’s software systems as we rely on computers in our daily affairs (e.g., medical equipments, transportation systems, etc). Since it is difficult (if not impossible) to anticipate all classes of faults that perturb a program while designing that program, it is desirable to incrementally add fa...

Over a decades, although various techniques have been proposed to improve the training of a neural network to against node fault, there is still a lacking of (i) a simple objective function to formalize multiple nodes fault and not much work has been done on understanding of the relation between fault tolerant and generalization. In this paper, an objective function based on the idea of Kullbac...

The theory behind fault tolerant multi-level Monte Carlo (FT-MLMC) methods was recently developed and tested. These tests were made without a real fault tolerant implementation. We implemented an MPI-parallelized fault tolerant MLMC version of an existing parallel MLMC code (ALSVID-UQ). It is based on the User Level Failure Mitigation, a fault tolerant extension of MPI. We confirm our FT-MLMC t...

Nonadiabatic Abelian geometric quantum computation has been extensively studied, due to its fast manipulation and inherent noise resistance. However, obtain the pure phase, state is required evolve along some special paths eliminate dynamical phase. This leads increasing evolution time weakened gate robustness. The unconventional an effective way solve above problems. Here, we propose a general...

The seven-qubit quantum error-correcting code originally proposed by Steane is one of the best known quantum codes. The Steane code has a desirable property that most basic operations can be performed easily in a fault-tolerant manner. A major obstacle to fault-tolerant quantum computation with the Steane code is fault-tolerant preparation of encoded states, which requires large computational r...

The paper describes an investigation of fault tolerant control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven by a fault-tolerant inverter. The inverter is a topology-modified inverter with fault-tolerant capability, which can be configured as the standard 3-phase 6-switch inverter and reconfigured as 3-phase 4-switch or 2-phase 4switch inverter under the fault condition. By an...

The application of robots in critical missions in hazardous environments requires the development of reliable or fault tolerant manipulators. In this paper, we define fault tolerance as the ability to continue the performance of a task after immobilization of a joint due to failure. Initially, no joint limits are considered, in which case we prove the existence of fault tolerant manipulators an...

A general scheme to perform universal, fault-tolerant quantum computation within decoherence-free subspaces (DFSs) is presented. At most two-qubit interactions are required, and the system remains within the DFS throughout the entire implementation of a quantum gate. We show explicitly how to perform universal computation on clusters of the four-qubit DFS encoding one logical qubit each under s...
