CONDITIONAL FAULT DIAGNOSABILITY OF DUAL-CUBES
Shuming Zhou, Lanxiang Chen, Jun‐Ming Xu · International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science · 2012
The growing size of the multiprocessor system increases its vulnerability to component failures. It is crucial to locate and replace the faulty processors to maintain a system's high reliability. The fault diagnosis is the process of identifying faulty processors in a system through testing. This paper shows that the largest connected component of the survival graph contains almost all of the remaining vertices in the dual-cube DCnwhen the number of faulty vertices is up to twice or three times of the traditional connectivity. Based on this fault resiliency, this paper determines that the conditional diagnosability of DCn(n ≥ 3) under the comparison model is 3n − 2, which is about three times of the traditional diagnosability.
