Real-time systems are proliferating, with applications in aircraft, spacecraft, chemical and power plants, and potentially in automobile-control systems. An important issue in such systems is aligning the memories of the processors after a transient failure. The authors show how the need to do this impacts system reliability, and should influence the amount of redundancy used as well as the task assignment.

Inspec keywords: system recovery; real-time systems; fault tolerant computing

Other keywords: task assignment; redundancy; real-time systems; transient failure; system reliability; memory alignment

Subjects: Diagnostic, testing, debugging and evaluating systems; Performance evaluation and testing
