Comparison-Based System-Level Fault Diagnosis: A Neural Network Approach

By Mourad Elhadef and Amiya Nayak

Featured article image We consider the fault identification problem, also known as the system-level self-diagnosis, in multiprocessor and multicomputer systems using the comparison approach. In this diagnosis model, a set of tasks is assigned to pairs of nodes and their outcomes are compared by neighboring nodes. Given that comparisons are performed by the nodes themselves, faulty nodes can incorrectly claim that fault-free nodes are faulty or that faulty ones are fault-free. The collections of all agreements and disagreements, i.e., the comparison outcomes, among the nodes are used to identify the set of permanently faulty nodes...
