    摘要： A computer system in a fault-tolerant configuration employees multiple identical CPUs executing the same instruction stream, with multiple, identical memory modules in the address space of the CPUs storing duplicates of the same data. The system detects faults in the CPUs and memory modules, and places a faulty unit offline while continuing to operate using the good units. The faulty unit can be replaced and reintegrated into the system without shutdown. The multiple CPUs are loosely synchronized, as by detecting events such as memory references and stalling any CPU ahead of others until all execute the function simultaneously; interrupts can be synchronized by ensuring that all CPUs implement the interrupt at the same point in their instruction stream. Memory references via the separate CPU-to-memory busses are voted at the three separate ports of each of the memory modules. I/O functions are implemented using two identical I/O busses, each of which is separately coupled to only one of the memory modules. A number of I/O processors are coupled to both I/O busses. I/O devices are accessed through a pair of identical (redundant) I/O processors, but only one is designated to actively control a given device; in case of failure of one I/O processor, however, an I/O device can be accessed by the other one without system shutdown.

    摘要： A fault-tolerant computer system employs a power supply system including a battery backup so that upon AC power failure the system can execute an orderly shutdown, saving state to disk. A restart procedure restores the state existing at the time of power failure if the AC power has been restored by the time the shutdown is completed. This powerfail/autorestart procedure may be implemented in a fault-tolerant multiprocessor configuration having multiple identical CPUs executing the same instruction stream, with multiple, identical memory modules in the address space of the CPUs storing duplicates of the same data. The system detects faults in the CPUs and memory modules, and places a faulty unit offline while continuing to operate using the good units. The multiple CPUs are loosely synchronized, as by detecting events such as memory references and stalling any CPU ahead of others until all execute the function simultaneously; interrupts can be synchronized by ensuring that all CPUs implement the interrupt at the same point in their instruction stream. Memory references via the separate CPU-to-memory busses are voted at the three separate ports of each of the memory modules. I/O functions are implemented using two identical I/O busses, each of which is separately coupled to only one of the memory modules. A number of I/O processors are coupled to both I/O busses. I/O devices are accessed through a pair of identical (redundant) I/O processors, but only one is designated to actively control a given device; in case of failure of one I/O processor, however, an I/O device can be accessed by the other one without system shutdown.

    摘要： A fault-tolerant computer system employing multiple CPUs executing the same instruction stream under independent clock cycle timing. The CPUs deterministically execute the instructions internally until input or output operations require access to memory or devices which are not synchronous with the local CPU clock. The CPUs are forced to take the same number of CPU clock cycles to complete the I/O operations. When the I/O operation is complete the internal processing of the instruction stream continues in a manner which is clock aligned in each of the multiple CPUs but which may be separate in real time due to oscillator drift. Accumulated drift is periodically removed by a timed interrupt which forces resynchronization of the CPUs in real time.

    摘要翻译： 容错计算机系统采用多个CPU在独立的时钟周期定时下执行相同的指令流。 CPU在内部确定性地执行指令，直到输入或输出操作需要访问与本地CPU时钟不同步的存储器或器件。 CPU被迫采用相同数量的CPU时钟周期来完成I / O操作。 当I / O操作完成时，指令流的内部处理以在多个CPU中的每一个中时钟对准的方式继续，但是由于振荡器漂移可能会实时分离。 累积漂移由定时中断周期性地消除，这些中断迫使CPU实时重新同步。
