Book Fault tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems

Download or read book Fault tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems written by Dhiraj K. Pradhan and published by Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers(IEEE). This book was released on 1995 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, large parallel computing systems and networks are providing unique challenges to researchers in dependable computing, especially because of the higher failure rates intrinsic to these bigger systems. While both commercial and scientific companies share the need for massive throughput and low latency, commercial companies have more stringent requirements for dependability. No telecommunications company, retailer, or bank could survive for long with weekly computer failures. Dependability of service is a paramount concern for commercial companies whose business is information. In addition to being continuously available, commercial systems must be free from data corruption. Absolute data integrity must be ensured through complete self-checking and fault isolation. Achieving dependability in highly scalable parallel and distributed systems poses a considerable challenge. As the number of components increases, so does the probability of a component failure. Therefore, a fault-tolerant technology is required in high scalable parallel and distributed systems.

Book Clock synchronization in distributed systems     a comparison

Download or read book Clock synchronization in distributed systems a comparison written by Harald Bachner and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Technikum Vienna (Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme), language: English, abstract: Clock synchronization is a necessary and critical part in most distributed systems. For many years NTP was the state-of-the-art way of synchronizing computer clocks distributed in space. However, as recent advances in miniaturization lead to the construction of smaller, more powerful and less power consuming computers, embedded devices, sensors and actuators, the need for more precise time synchronization grew. This work thus sets out to compare selected approaches to clock synchronization in distributed systems. The well known Global Positioning System is disseminating accurate time and frequency information from the International Institutes that keep the time, NTP can still do the same, but at different levels of accuracy as well as cost. Clock synchronization protocols like IEEE1588 or TTP and bus architectures like FlexRay evolved from the need to further propagate the timing information within small networks and therefore staying within the specified limits of preciseness.

Book A Byzantine Fault Tolerant Self Stabilizing Protocol for Distributed Clock Synchronization Systems

Download or read book A Byzantine Fault Tolerant Self Stabilizing Protocol for Distributed Clock Synchronization Systems written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded distributed systems have become an integral part of safety-critical computing applications, necessitating system designs that incorporate fault tolerant clock synchronization in order to achieve ultra-reliable assurance levels. Many efficient clock synchronization protocols do not, however, address Byzantine failures, and most protocols that do tolerate Byzantine failures do not self-stabilize. Of the Byzantine self-stabilizing clock synchronization algorithms that exist in the literature, they are based on either unjustifiably strong assumptions about initial synchrony of the nodes or on the existence of a common pulse at the nodes. The Byzantine self-stabilizing clock synchronization protocol presented here does not rely on any assumptions about the initial state of the clocks. Furthermore, there is neither a central clock nor an externally generated pulse system. The proposed protocol converges deterministically, is scalable, and self-stabilizes in a short amount of time. The convergence time is linear with respect to the self-stabilization period. Proofs of the correctness of the protocol as well as the results of formal verification efforts are reported.Malekpour, Mahyar R.Langley Research CenterCLOCKS; SYNCHRONISM; PROVING; FAULT TOLERANCE; CONVERGENCE; EMBEDDING; ALGORITHMS; SAFETY; PROTOCOL (COMPUTERS); PROGRAM VERIFICATION (COMPUTERS); FAILURE

Book Time Triggered Communication

Download or read book Time Triggered Communication written by Roman Obermaisser and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-Triggered Communication helps readers build an understanding of the conceptual foundation, operation, and application of time-triggered communication, which is widely used for embedded systems in a diverse range of industries. This book assembles contributions from experts that examine the differences and commonalities of the most significant protocols including: TTP, FlexRay, TTEthernet, SAFEbus, TTCAN, and LIN. Covering the spectrum, from low-cost time-triggered fieldbus networks to ultra-reliable time-triggered networks used for safety-critical applications, the authors illustrate the inherent benefits of time-triggered communication in terms of predictability, complexity management, fault-tolerance, and analytical dependability modeling, which are key aspects of safety-critical systems. Examples covered include FlexRay in cars, TTP in railway and avionic systems, and TTEthernet in aerospace applications. Illustrating key concepts based on real-world industrial applications, this book: Details the underlying concepts and principles of time-triggered communication Explores the properties of a time-triggered communication system, contrasting its strengths and weaknesses Focuses on the core algorithms applied in many systems, including those used for clock synchronization, startup, membership, and fault isolation Describes the protocols that incorporate presented algorithms Covers tooling requirements and solutions for system integration, including scheduling The information in this book is extremely useful to industry leaders who design and manufacture products with distributed embedded systems based on time-triggered communication. It also benefits suppliers of embedded components or development tools used in this area. As an educational tool, this material can be used to teach students and working professionals in areas including embedded systems, computer networks, system architectures, dependability, real-time systems, and automotive, avionics, and industrial control systems.
