    摘要: A fault tolerant computer system having a first processing system which includes a first data processor for executing a series of data processing instructions. A first data output terminal outputs data from the first processing system. A second processing system, substantially identical to the first processing system, operates independently from the first processing system. The second processing system includes a second data processor for executing the series of data processing instructions in the same sequence as the first data processor. It also includes a second data output terminal for outputting data from the second processing system. A synchronizing device is coupled to the first and second data processors for maintaining the execution of the series of data processing instructions by the first and second processing systems in synchronism. Fault detection devices are coupled to the first and second data output terminals for comparing the data output from the first processing system with the data output from the second processing system. The fault detection devices identify the presence of an error when the data output from the first processing system at the first output terminal is different from the data output from the second processing system at the second output terminal.

    摘要: A computer system configured to provide fault tolerance includes a first host system and a second host system. The first host system is programmed to monitor a number of portions of memory of the first host system that have been modified by a guest running on the first host system and, upon determining that the number of portions exceeds a threshold level, determine that a checkpoint needs to be created. Upon determining that the checkpoint needs to be created, operation of the guest is paused and checkpoint data is generated. After generating the checkpoint data, operation of the guest is resumed while the checkpoint data is transmitted to the second host system.

    摘要: A fault tolerant/fault resilient computer system includes at least two compute elements connected to at least one controller. Each compute element has clocks that operate asynchronously to clocks of the other compute elements. The compute elements operate in a first mode in which the compute elements each execute a first stream of instructions in emulated clock lockstep, and in a second mode in which the compute elements each execute a second stream of instructions in instruction lockstep. Each compute element may be a multi-processor compute element.

    摘要: A memory for storing data in a computer system. Integrity of data transferred to or from a memory array is monitored by transferring two sets of EDC or ECC data corresponding to a longword of data between the memory array and two separate memory controllers. The probability of an undetected error is very low because the two sets of EDC or ECC data are compared to ensure that they match. The number of lines and pins used is minimized by multiplexing the EDC or ECC data with address signals and cycle type signals. The address and cycle type signals are placed on the time division multiplexed bidirectional lines at the beginning of a memory transfer cycle, and the EDC or ECC data is placed on these time division multiplexed lines at times when a longword of data is being transferred on a set of bidirectional data lines.
