Information Redundancy: Error Detection/Correction Codes (Hamming, Parity, Checksum, Berger, Cyclic, Arithmetic); Encoding/Decoding circuits; Resilient Disk Systems (RAID). Fault-Tolerant Networks: Network Topologies and their Resilience; Fault-tolerant Routing
Software Fault-Tolerance: Single-Version Fault Tolerance; N-Version Programming; Recovery Approach; Exception and Conditional (Assert) Handling; Reliability Models. Check pointing: Optimal Check pointing; Check pointing in Distributed and Shared-memory Systems.
Course Objectives
Course Outcomes
CO1: To understand the risk of computer failures and their comparison with other equipment failures.
CO2: To understand the different advantages and limits of fault avoidance and fault tolerance techniques.
CO3: To gain knowledge in sources of faults and their prevention and forecasting.
CO4: To analyze fault-tolerant or non-fault-tolerant on the basis of dependability requirements.
