The architecture design and assessment system (ADAS), a set of computer-aided design tools for the synthesis and analysis of service algorithms and their hardware implementations at the architectural level, is described. The ADAS was used to evaluate the performance of a fault-tolerant architecture development by an advanced information processing system (AIPS) relative to a typical aircraft control system. A typical flight-control application was modelled using ADAS. Several candidate AIPS architectures were considered to find a suitable architecture on which the flight-control system would execute efficiency. Potential bottlenecks are described, and architecture modifications to relieve the bottlenecks are presented
