An algorithm called RAFT (recursive algorithm for fault tolerance) for achieving fault tolerance in multiprocessor systems is described. Through the use of a combination of dynamic space- and time- redundancy techniques, RAFT achieves fault tolerance in the presence of permanent as well as intermittent faults. Performance and reliability of multiprocessor systems using RAFT are determined as a
