The reliability performance of gracefully degradable multiprocessor systems (MPSS) is studied in this paper. A formal multi-partite probabilistic graph is proposed to model the multiprocessor system architectures. Three categories of the multiprocessor systems-configurations with crossbar switching, time shared buses, and multiport memories-are investigated. The relative reliability performances of all three multiprocessor architectures are compared and discussed in detail. The comparisons indicate that the distributed-crossbar-structured multiprocessor system is better than the other two MPS architectures at both low and high multiprocessing levels. 8 references.
