Provable transient recovery for frame-based, fault-tolerant computing systems
Ben L. Di Vito, Ricky W. Butler · 2003
A formal verification of the transient fault recovery aspects of the Reliable Computing Platform (RCP), a fault-tolerant computing system architecture for digital flight control applications, is described. The RCP uses NMR-style redundancy to mask faults and internal majority voting to purge the effects of transient faults. The system design has been formally specified and verified using the EHDM verification system. The present formalization accommodates a wide variety of voting schemes for purging the effects of transients.>
