Description
There are many applications in which the reliability of the overall system must be far higher than the reliability of its individual components.
In such cases, designers devise mechanisms and architectures that allow the system to either completely mask the effects of a component
failure or recover from it so quickly that the application is not seriously affected. This is the work of fault-tolerant designers and
their work is increasingly important and complex not only because of the increasing number of ?mission critical? applications, but also
because the diminishing reliability of hardware means that even systems for non-critical applications will need to be designed with fault-tolerance
in mind.
Reflecting the real-world challenges faced by designers of these systems, this book addresses fault tolerance design with
a systems approach to both hardware and software. No other text on the market takes this approach, nor offers the comprehensive and up-to-date
treatment Koren and Krishna provide. Students, designers and architects of high performance processors will value this comprehensive
overview of the field.
Audience
Senior undergraduate, graduate students in fault-tolerance computing courses. Professional architects of high performance processors, and designers of enterprise computing systems.
