This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation presents recent advances in algorithmic ways of introducing fault-tolerance in multiprocessors under the constraint of preserving efficiency. The difficulty associated with combining fault-tolerance and efficiency is that the two have conflicting means: fault-tolerance is achieved by introducing redundancy, while efficiency is achieved by removing redundancy. This monograph demonstrates how in certain models of parallel computation it is possible to combine efficiency and fault-tolerance and shows how it is possible to develop efficient algorithms without concern for fault-tolerance, and then correctly and efficiently execute these algorithms on parallel machines whose processors are subject to arbitrary dynamic fail-stop errors. The efficient algorithmic approaches to multiprocessor fault-tolerance presented in this monograph make a contribution towards bridging the gap between the abstract models of parallel computation and realizable parallel architectures. Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation presents the state of the art in algorithmic approaches to fault-tolerance in efficient parallel algorithms. The monograph synthesizes work that was presented in recent symposia and published in refereed journals by the authors and other leading researchers. This is the first text that takes the reader on the grand tour of this new field summarizing major results and identifying hard open problems. This monograph will be of interest to academic and industrial researchers and graduate students working in the areas of fault-tolerance, algorithms and parallel computation and may also be used as a text in a graduate course on parallel algorithmic techniques and fault-tolerance.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important use of computing in the future will be in the context of the global "digital convergence" where everything becomes digital and every thing is inter-networked. The application will be dominated by storage, search, retrieval, analysis, exchange and updating of information in a wide variety of forms. Heavy demands will be placed on systems by many simultaneous re quests. And, fundamentally, all this shall be delivered at much higher levels of dependability, integrity and security. Increasingly, large parallel computing systems and networks are providing unique challenges to industry and academia in dependable computing, espe cially because of the higher failure rates intrinsic to these systems. The chal lenge in the last part of this decade is to build a systems that is both inexpensive and highly available. A machine cluster built of commodity hardware parts, with each node run ning an OS instance and a set of applications extended to be fault resilient can satisfy the new stringent high-availability requirements. The focus of this book is to present recent techniques and methods for im plementing fault-tolerant parallel and distributed computing systems. Section I, Fault-Tolerant Protocols, considers basic techniques for achieving fault-tolerance in communication protocols for distributed systems, including synchronous and asynchronous group communication, static total causal order ing protocols, and fail-aware datagram service that supports communications by time.

This book was released on 2004-07-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989, Michael Rabin proposed a fundamentally new approach to the problems of fault-tolerant routing and memory management in parallel computation, based on the idea of information dispersal. Yuh-Dauh Lyuu developed this idea in a number of new and exciting ways in his PhD thesis. Further work has led to extensions of these methods to other applications such as shared memory emulations. This volume presents an extended and updated printing of Lyuu's thesis. It gives a detailed treatment of the information dispersal approach to the problems of fault-tolerance and distributed representations of information which have resisted rigorous analysis by previous methods.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to implement a technique for fault-tolerant parallel computation on the Intel Corporation's Hypercube computer. This work was motivated by the recent progress in parallel computation and neural network techniques. This study focuses on the implementation of one particular type of parallel processing architecture on the Intel Hypercube. The architecture in question is known as the cube-connected cycle (CCC). This architecture is used as a basis for a reconfiguration scheme known as reconfigurable cube-connected cycles. The aim of this reconfiguration is to build a parallel computing system with fault tolerance capability. Implementation of this technique on the Intel Hypercube was by simulation. The loading of only part of the hypercube available nodes, holding the remaining nodes in reserve was accomplished, followed by a simulation of the replacement of a deactivated node with a spare node. Conclusions are reached regarding the suitability of the Intel machine for fault tolerance experiments versus the rapid computation for which it was designed. Recommendations are made regarding the next logical steps in continuation of the work presented in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the research summarized in this final report was to investigate a class of orthogonal shared-memory architectures and interconnection networks, and to obtain generalized methods for implementing algorithm-based fault tolerance (ABFT) on multiprocessor architectures. We proposed a theory based on orthogonal graphs to represent many well-known interconnection networks such as the binary m-cube, spanning-bus meshes, multistage interconnection networks, etc. A previously proposed multiprocessor architecture called the Orthogonal Multiprocessor (OMP) is also a special case of this method. The simplicity of the graph construction rules permits us to characterize and understand the differences and similarities among networks like the SW-banyan, the baseline network, among others. This opens the way for discovering new structures by studying different possible combinations of the parameters which define orthogonal graphs.

Download or read book FT PAS A Framework for Pattern Specific Fault tolerance in Parallel Programming written by Gopinatha Jakadeesan and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault-tolerance is an important requirement for long running parallel applications. Many approaches are discussed in various literatures about providing fault-tolerance for parallel systems. Most of them exhibit one or more of these shortcomings in delivering fault-tolerance: non-specific solution (i.e., the fault-tolerance solution is general), no separation-of-concern (i.e., the application developer's involvement in implementing the fault tolerance is significant) and limited to inbuilt fault-tolerance solution. In this thesis, we propose a different approach to deliver fault-tolerance to the parallel programs using a-priori knowledge about their patterns. Our approach is based on the observation that different patterns require different fault-tolerance techniques (specificity). Consequently, we have contributed by classifying patterns into sub-patterns based on fault-tolerance strategies. Moreover, the core functionalities of these fault-tolerance strategies can be abstracted and pre-implemented generically, independent of a specific application. Thus, the pre-packaged solution separates their implementation details from the application developer (separation-of-concern). One such fault-tolerance model is designed and implemented here to demonstrate our idea. The Fault-Tolerant Parallel Architectural Skeleton (FT-PAS) model implements various fault-tolerance protocols targeted for a collection of (frequently used) patterns in parallel-programming. Fault-tolerance protocol extension is another important contribution of this research. The FT-PAS model provides a set of basic building blocks as part of protocol extension in order to build new fault- tolerance protocols as needed for available patterns. Finally, the usages of the model from the perspective of two user categories (i.e., an application developer and a protocol designer) are illustrated through examples.
