Abstract
As multiprocessor computer systems expand in size and complexity, the probability of encountering faulty processors within the system also increases. Understanding and evaluating the impact of these faulty processors on the entire system is critical. Reliability assessment serves as a key metric for quantifying the effect of faulty processors on the overall system performance. A widely used method for evaluating system reliability is to compute the probability that a fault-free subsystem of a given size remains operational when the system contains some faulty processors. A higher probability indicates greater system reliability. In this paper, we utilize the probability fault model and the Inclusion-Exclusion principle to analyze the subnetwork reliability of under node failures. We derive the upper and lower bounds on the -reliability of the by analyzing the intersection of up to five subnetworks. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that the theoretical results closely match simulation results, particularly when the single-node reliability value p is low.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical Computer Science is mathematical and abstract in spirit, but it derives its motivation from practical and everyday computation. Its aim is to understand the nature of computation and, as a consequence of this understanding, provide more efficient methodologies. All papers introducing or studying mathematical, logic and formal concepts and methods are welcome, provided that their motivation is clearly drawn from the field of computing.
