Reliability Management through Self-Testing.

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop and study techniques for computational systems with very high degree of readiness. We will study optimal methods of implementing self-testing to achieve this. The topics under examination include fault modeling at different levels, statistical evaluation of self testing and optimization of self testing as implemented in hardware and as a background task. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) will be a critical defensive system. Its major capabilities will be needed for handling only a few rare and unexpected events. The system must not be allowed to fail during these short but extremely critical periods. This requires a very high degree of readiness. We are examining techniques that will allow a very thorough self-check without excessive hardware or performance overheads.
