Fault Tolerant Computer ArchitectureError Detection

Fault Tolerant Computer Architecture: Error Detection [Error detection is the most important aspect of fault tolerance because a processor cannot tolerate a problem of which it is not aware. Even if the processor cannot recover from a detected error, the processor can still alert the user that an error has occurred and halt. Error detection thus provides, at the minimum, a measure of safety. A safe processor does not do anything incorrect. Without recovery, the processor may not be able to make forward progress, but at least it is safe. It is far preferable for a processor to do nothing than to silently fail and corrupt data.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Error detection is the most important aspect of fault tolerance because a processor cannot tolerate a problem of which it is not aware. Even if the processor cannot recover from a detected error, the processor can still alert the user that an error has occurred and halt. Error detection thus provides, at the minimum, a measure of safety. A safe processor does not do anything incorrect. Without recovery, the processor may not be able to make forward progress, but at least it is safe. It is far preferable for a processor to do nothing than to silently fail and corrupt data.]
