Title: New diagnosis theory as the basis of intermittent-fault/transient-upset tolerant system design

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5000337

Multiple-unit computer systems which are to be tolerant of intermittently faulty units or transiently upset units are considered in this paper. Designs for such systems, which expoloit a new, so called Greedy diagnosis theory, are developed. Using Greedy diagnosis, assessments on the condition of a unit (intermittent-fault case) or the integrity of data (transient-upset case) can be made on the basis of syndromes formed from comparisons of the results of jobs performed by pairs of units. Greedy diagnosis avoids the requirement that for such syndromes to be useful, they must be interpretable from a permanent-fault/continuous-upset perspective. 10 references.
