Abstract

This chapter briefly introduces how reliability of the system might be considered in combination with fault tolerance. Having introduced hardware faults in the previous chapter, we present in this chapter the elements of theory of fault tolerance and reliability and show how the hardware components of a computing system can be made more resilient to hardware faults. We then introduce the mathematical definition of reliability and show how to calculate the reliability of a system according to the topology of its components. Then we describe the connection between reliability and fault tolerance, i.e., we show how applying different types of redundancy, implemented in software and hardware, increases the reliability of a system. Also, some design advices are given.
