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 VOLTAN node is composed of a number of conventional processors on which application level processes are replicated to achieve fault tolerance. The processors of a node execute agreement and order protocols to 'keep in step'. The design and the implementation of three processor failure masking and a two processor fail-silent nodes using transputers are described in detail.
