Studies on reliability with task allocation of redundant distributed systems

Abstract

A distributed computing system provides a platform for execution of concurrently executable communicating modules or tasks of software applications. We have developed a software for computing best reliable task allocation of redundant distributed system with different redundancy levels. In this paper the effect of accumulated execution time/intermodule communication and failure rates of processors and links on reliability of RDS have been studied. © 1998 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
