Assessment and benchmarking of computing system dependability
The dependability (in terms of availability, reliability, and security) of a computing system (and hence of the services it provides
to the end user) depends to large extent on the failure-resilience of the underlying hardware (e.g., microprocessor and memory),
operating system and applications. Understanding a system’s sensitivity to errors and identifying its error propagation patterns and
single points of failure are thus of primary importance in selecting a computing platform and in assessing tradeoffs involving cost,
reliability, and performance.
Towards this, Armored Computing offers:
-
Assessment procedures for experimental characterization of a computing system behavior in presence of errors,
-
Customizable software framework (NFTAPE) for conducting automated fault/error injection based dependability characterization, which enables users to:
- specify a fault/error injection plan,
- carry on injection experiments,
- collect the experimental results for analysis
