Breland) Subject: Fault Tolerant Ada @ TRI-Ada '93 Message-ID: List-Id: The Ada Fault Tolerance Project ------------------------------- Imagine... a single Ada program ... distributed across a mesh of processors ... with critical tasks replicated to prevent single points-of-failure ... communicating through backplanes or networks ... while meeting the demands of real-time response rates! From the labs of research innovation and industrial-strength embedded systems, that dream has become reality. The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) has joined with Computing Devices International and Verdix to craft an integrated set of distributed Ada facilities and fault tolerant extensions. Under the auspices of the Ada Fault Tolerance (AFT) project, MCC has penetrated the envelope of an Ada program to actively replicate its critical components and thus provide fault resiliency. AFT attacks the fault tolerance problem by using software implemented facilities to detect, diagnose, and recover from hardware faults. These facilities form a transparent layer between Verdix's distributed Ada runtime environment and any Ada application program. Visit the Verdix booth at TRI-Ada '93 for a demonstration of AFT technology applied with a financial application *and* a military avionics one. --- Mark A.
