Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A fail-silent node is composed of a number of "fail-arbitrary" conventional processors on which application level processes are replicated to achieve fault-tolerance. The non-faulty processors of a node need to execute agreement and order protocols to 'keep in step'. The design and the implementation of efficient protocols for a two processor fail-silent node are described in detail. In particular we introduce two new ordering protocols which substantially enhance the performance of the node.
