Abstract
The probability distribution function of residual life after well-defined tolerable faults is given. Depending on the joint distribution(s) of lives of (a) set(s) of components, ready-to-use formulas are derived. As a non-trivial example a cubic multicomputer tolerating single and some double faults is discussed under the assumption that a ring of 6 computers must be kept active. The cases of nodes consisting of small communications processors with bigger hosts and of nodes being micro computers are considered.
