Partitioning of large multicomputer systems for efficient fault diagnosis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5000331
Fault diagnosis for large VLSI multicomputer systems is considered. The multicomputer system is assumed to employ a lattice structure and it is partitoned into m subsystems. Each subystem has at least k units which can achieve one-step t-diagnosability where t is less than or equal to the diagnosability of the system without partitioning. The partitioning of a system with centralized control and a system with distributed control are considered in the PMC model as well as in the comparison model. The result shows that the partitioning allows efficient fault diagnosis in a system with a large number of units and may increase overall system diagnosability to m*t in an ideal case. 18 references.
