| This optional module seeks to make stress in a special type of computer architectures, Fault Tolerant Systems. This machine types are used in critical applications where their failure can create big risks, either of economic type or loss of human lives. During the term the more important characteristics will be studied, seeing the physical aspects, as the own techniques of the software, that make these systems offer certain guarantees that are resistant to failures. It also aims for students to know the terminology used in this field and so the characteristic parameters that define the Fault Tolerant Systems are studies. They will explain the systems with high reliability, the safe functioning systems and those that are widely available. The student should understand which are the evaluation objectives of fault tolerant systems and which is the function and pattern utility, based on Markov chains that represent the temporary evolution of a system as failures take place. Students are introduced to the implemented fault tolerant techniques by software, given the tendency that system designers have to use this methodology. Students should understand why the distributed and multiprocessors systems are used increasingly with functional degradation, to achieve wide availability and a high functional guarantee. Lastly, a basic objective is to know the functioning and application environ |
