A brief account is presented of the recovery block scheme together with a brief description of a new implementation of the underlying cache mechanism. The salient features of a proposed computer architecture are described, which incorporates this implementation and also provides a high level of detection for errors such as the corruption of code and data. A prototype system has been constructed to test the viability of these techniques by executing programs containing recovery blocks on an emulator for the proposed architecture. Experiences in running this system are recounted with respect to errors introduced by deliberate attempts to corrupt the system.
