Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation by Paris Christos Kanellakis, Alex Allister Shvartsman.

Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation presents recent advances in algorithmic ways of introducing fault-tolerance in multiprocessors under the constraint of preserving efficiency. The difficulty associated with combining fault-tolerance and efficiency is that the two have conflicting means: fault-tole...
