Reliability analysis of checkpointing model with multiple verification mechanism

Yutae Lee

Dong-eui University

Abstract

We consider a checkpointing model for silent errors, where a checkpoint is taken every fixed number of verifications. Assuming generally distributed i.i.d.$\!$ inter-occurrence times of errors, we derive the reliability of the model as a function of the number of verifications between two checkpoints and the duration of work interval between two verifications.

Keywords: checkpoint, multiple verification, general failure distribution, silent error, reliability
