Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As computer and communications systems become more complex it becomes increasingly more difficult to analyze their hardware reliability, because simple models may fail to adequately capture subtle but important model features. This paper describes a number of ways we have addressed this problem for analyses based upon White's SURE theorem. We point out how reliability analysis based on SURE mathematics can be extracted from a general C language description of the model behavior, how it can attack very large problems by accepting recomputation in order to reduce memory usage, how such analysis can be parallelized both on multiprocessors and on networks of ordinary workstations, and observe excellent performance gains by doing so. We also discuss how the SURE theorem supports efficient Monte Carlo based estimation of reliability, and show the advantages of the method. Reliability, Markov modeling.

Download or read book Modeling for Reliability Analysis written by Jan Pukite and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-06-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Markov modeling has long been accepted as a fundamental and powerful technique for the fault tolerance analysis of mission-critical applications. However, the elaborate computations required have often made Markov modeling too time-consuming to be of practical use on these complex systems. With this hands-on tool, designers can use the Markov modeling technique to analyze safety, reliability, maintainability, and cost-effectiveness factors in the full range of complex systems in use today. Featuring ground-breaking simulation software and a comprehensive reference manual, MARKOV MODELING FOR RELIABILITY ANALYSIS helps system designers surmount the mathematical computations that have previously prevented effective reliability analysis. The text and software compose a valuable self-study tool that is complete with detailed explanations, examples, and a library of Markov models that can be used for experiments and as derivations for new simulation models. The book details how these analyses are conducted, while providing hands-on instruction on how to develop reliability models for the full range of system configurations. Computer-Aided Rate Modeling and Simulation (CARMS) software is an integrated modeling tool that includes a diagram-based environment for model setup, a spreadsheet like interface for data entry, an expert system link for automatic model construction, and an interactive graphic interface for displaying simulation results."

This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SURE program is a new reliability analysis tool for ultrareliable computer system architectures. The computational methods on which the program is based provide an efficient means for computing accurate upper and lower bounds for the death state probabilities of a large class of semi-Markov models. Once a semi-Markov model is described using a simple input language, the SURE program automatically computes the upper and lower bounds on the probability of system failure. A parameter of the model can be specified as a variable over a range of values directing the SURE program to perform a sensitivity analysis automatically. This feature, along with the speed of the program, makes it especially useful as a design tool. Butler, Ricky W. and White, Allan L. Langley Research Center...

This book was released on 1993-09-15 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the complete set of tutorial papers presented at the 16th IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) Working Group 7.3 International Symposium on Computer Performance Modelling, Measurement and Evaluation, and a number of tutorial papers presented at the 1993 ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Special Interest Group METRICS Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems. The principal goal of the volume is to present an overview of recent results in the field of modeling and performance evaluation of computer and communication systems. The wide diversity of applications and methodologies included in the tutorials attests to the breadth and richness of current research in the area of performance modeling. The tutorials may serve to introduce a reader to an unfamiliar research area, to unify material already known, or simply to illustrate the diversity of research in the field. The extensive bibliographies guide readers to additional sources for further reading.
