Abstract:

Spurred by increased system complexity, critical application areas, and increased personnel costs, fault tolerant computing systems are rapidly becoming desirable if not necessary. This report summarizes the accomplishments of the past five years in data collection on hard and transient faults from a variety of systems including Cm a 50 processor multiprocessor, PDP-10 timesharing systems, VAX-11 timesharing systems. C.mmp a 16 processor multiprocessor, and C.vmp a triplicated multiprocessor modeling experimentation tools and techniques and architecture. Author
