Kurzbeschreibung
Ein Baustein versagt, aber das System funktioniert weiter: Dies erreicht man u.a. mit fehlertoleranten Rechenmethoden, in die viele redundante Elemente eingebaut wurden. Ob Netzwerkserver oder Transportmittel - Anwendungen gibt es viele. Der Autor behandelt diese Technologie umfassend und detailliert, wobei er besonders intensiv auf die Grundlagen eingeht. Darüber hinaus liefert er Hintergrundinformationen, z.B. zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse, um dem Leser den Einstieg in das Thema zu erleichtern.
With computers becoming embedded as controllers in everything from network servers to the routing of subway schedules to NASA missions, there is a critical need to ensure that systems continue to function even when a component fails. In this book, bestselling author Martin Shooman draws on his expertise in reliability engineering and software engineering to provide a complete and authoritative look at fault tolerant computing. He clearly explains all fundamentals, including how to use redundant elements in system design to ensure the reliability of computer systems and networks.
