Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation

by Paris Christos Kanellakis, Alex Allister Shvartsman, Alex Allister Shvartsman

Book Overview

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...
