Session details: Fault tolerance and parallel applications

As chip densities and clock rates increases, processors are becoming more susceptible to transient faults that affect program correctness. Therefore, fault tolerance becomes increasingly important in computing system. Two major concerns of fault ...

Byzantine fault tolerance has been intensively studied over the past decade as a way to enhance the intrusion resilience of computer systems. However, state-machine-based Byzantine fault tolerance algorithms require deterministic application processing ...

An algorithm called RAFT (recursive algorithm for fault tolerance) for achieving fault tolerance in multiprocessor systems is described. Through the use of a combination of dynamic space- and time- redundancy techniques, RAFT achieves fault tolerance in ...
