Virtualization is an important enabling technology for many large data centers and cloud computing environments, and virtual machine (VM) migration plays a key role in the load balancing among the hosts of the data center. However, the existing load balancing schemes based on VM migration have serious influence on the fault-tolerant level of the services in the data center, and thus the reliabi...

In this paper, we consider a load-balancing process allocation method for fault-tolerant multicomputer systems that balances the load before as well as after faults start to degrade the performance of the system. In order to be able to tolerate a single fault, each process (primary process) is duplicated (i.e., has a backup process). The backup process executes on a different processor from the...

This paper proposed an algorithm for fault tolerant distributed computation in a grid by the means of meta-heuristic Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique and Check-Pointing. Load Balancing is the process of distributing the workload among the nodes in a grid. The load can be CPU cycles, memory capacity or network load. Due to the emerging computing methodology of grid computing over the hete...

Traditional replication protocols that logically arrange the replicas into a specific structure have reasonable availability, lower communication cost as well as system load than those that do not require any logical organisation of replicas. We propose in this paper the A2DS protocol: a single protocol that, unlike the existing proposed protocols, can be adapted to any 2D structure. Its read o...

In recent years, the clusters have become a viable and less expensive alternative to multiprocessor systems. This paper proposes an architecture with a load balancing and a fault tolerant model for shared memory clusters. A task clustering algorithm, a Centralized dynamic load balancing model, a load balancing algorithm and a fault tolerant model are proposed for shared memory clusters. The res...

In this study we tried to consider effect of vertical component of  near zone earthquake (10 to 15 km far from fault) such as Kobe 1995, Northridge 1994, Loma prieta 1989 and Chichi 1999 on a concrete cable bridge by a 320m span in the middle which was built on different type of soils. The SAP software (version14) was selected because I should have done linear and non-linear time history anal...

How to prevent the fault propagation problems in Web Service has become an important issue. The recent research works mostly take some fault tolerance method in service based system. These methods detect or diagnose faults in the composition process, find the failure service, take tolerance action and recover the system. However, in the service oriented architecture, one service is shared by di...

different methods for detecting broken bars in induction motors can be found in literature. many of these methods are based on evaluating special frequency magnitudes in machine signals spectrums. current, power, flux, etc are among these signals. frequencies related to broken rotor fault depend on slip. in industrial environment due to some phenomena - such as load oscillation, other faults an...

In order to be able to tolerate a single fault, each process (primary process) is duplicated (i.e., has a backup process). The backup process executes on a diierent processor from the ...
