摘要

本文研究了WebCom元计算机中的容错问题。WebCom的计算平台是动态可重构的，是基于志愿者的。由于其组成机器可能会加入或离开不可预测性，因此故障生存和有效的故障恢复至关重要。提出了一种基于快速高效的处理器替换过程的容错机制。结果表明，该程序的特点，加上WebCom执行的分层和引用透明的性质，可以用来限制故障对其邻近区域的影响。

Fault tolerance in the WebCom metacomputer

This paper addresses fault tolerance in the WebCom metacomputer. WebCom's computation platform is dynamically reconfigurable and volunteer-based. Since its constituent machines may join and leave unpredictability, fault survival and efficient fault recovery is of paramount importance. A fault tolerance mechanism is outlined, which relies on a fast and efficient processor replacement procedure. It is shown that the characteristics of this procedure, together with the hierarchical and referentially transparent nature of WebCom executions, can be used to limit the effect of a fault to its immediate neighbourhood.
