Designing a system for fault tolerance is a robust design principle for building systems that will continue to operate correctly or in an acceptable degraded fashion. This approach is appropriate for ...

Operating systems can play a key role in keeping a system highly available. Most off-the-shelf OS vendors, however, are only starting to address fault-tolerance by offering hardened versions of their ...

The paper presents a case study on implementation of the fault tolerant LEON-3 processor system on a chip for space applications. The single-event upset (SEU) tolerance is provided by design. The ...

A technical paper titled “Enhancing Fault Awareness and Reliability of a Fault-Tolerant RISC-V System-on-Chip” was published by researchers at University of Montpellier and University of Vale do ...

The ability to continue non-stop when a hardware failure occurs. A fault-tolerant system is designed from the ground up for reliability by building multiples of critical components, such as CPUs, ...

Embedded electronic control units are finding their way into more and more complex safety critical and mission critical applications. Many of these applications operate in adverse conditions, which ...

In April 2007 I posted Fault Tolerant and Fail Over is There a Difference?. In that post I explored the differences between a failover environment and an environment that can not appear to fail.
