Summary:We propose a novel architecture for a fault-tolerant
multiprocessor environment. It is assumed that the multiprocessor
organization consists of a pool of active processing modules and either
a small number of spare modules or active modules with some spare
processing capacity. A fault-tolerance scheme is developed for duplex
systems using checkpoints. Our scheme, unlike traditional checkpointing
schemes, requires no rollbacks for recovering from single faults. The
objective is to achieve performance of a triple modular redundant system
using duplex system redundancy
