Abstract :
The design issues and implementation of a fault-tolerant multiprocessor system are addressed. Two design alternatives, fail-safe and fail-safe-redundant, are presented. The modular software presented in the earlier trimodule redundant (TMR) system is easily transportable to the proposed architecture. The results of reliability analysis for the two design schemes are presented. The proposed arbitration schemes can be integrated in LSI for improved reliability
