    Abstract: A computer system in a fault-tolerant configuration employs multiple identical CPUs executing the same instruction stream, with multiple, identical memory modules in the address space of the CPUs storing duplicates of the same data. The system detects faults in the CPUs and memory modules, and places a faulty unit offline while continuing to operate using the good units. The faulty unit can be replaced and reintegrated into the system without shutdown. The computer system employs a power supply system including a battery backup so that upon AC power failure the system can execute an orderly shutdown, saving state to disk. A restart procedure restores the state existing at the time of power failure if the AC power has been restored by the time the shutdown is completed. The system employs a pseudo-filesystem to dynamically manage the hardware components. A directory which appears as a standard, hierarchical directory in this filesystem contains a file for each component; each file maps to either a hardware component or a software module. The pseudo-filesystem hierarchy is determined during system initialization and is automatically updated whenever the software or hardware configuration changes. The pseudo-filesystem, called /config filesystem herein, is implemented as a Unix filesystem in the Unix filesystem switch. The multiple CPUs are loosely synchronized, as by detecting events such as memory references and stalling any CPU ahead of others until all execute the function simultaneously; interrupts can be synchronized by ensuring that all CPUs implement the interrupt at the same point in their instruction stream. Memory references via the separate CPU-to-memory busses are voted at the three separate ports of each of the memory modules. I/O functions are implemented using two identical I/O busses, each of which is separately coupled to only one of the memory modules. A number of I/O processors are coupled to both I/O busses. I/O devices are accessed through a pair of identical (redundant) I/O processors, but only one is designated to actively control a given device; in case of failure of one I/O processor, however, an I/O device can be accessed by the other one without system shutdown.

    Abstract: A computer system in a fault-tolerant configuration employs three identical CPUs executing the same instruction stream, with two identical, self-checking memory modules storing duplicates of the same data. Memory references by the three CPUs are made by three separate busses connected to three separate ports of each of the two memory modules. The three CPUs are loosely synchronized, as by detecting events such as memory references and stalling any CPU ahead of others until all execute the function simultaneously; interrupts can be synchronized by ensuring that all three CPUs implement the interrupt at the same point in their instruction stream. Memory references via the separate CPU-to-memory busses are voted at the three separate ports of each of the memory modules. I/O functions are implemented using two identical I/O busses, each of which is separately coupled to only one of the memory modules. A number of I/O processors are coupled to both I/O busses. Each CPU has its own fast cache and also a local memory not accessible by the other CPUs. A hierarchical virtual memory management arrangement for this system employs demand paging to keep the most-used data in the local memory, page-swapping with the global memory. Page swapping with disk memory is through the global memory; the global memory is used as a disk buffer and also to hold pages likely to be needed for loading to local memory. The operating system kernel is kept in local memory. A private-write area is included in the shared memory space in the memory modules to allow functions such as software voting of state information unique to CPUs. All CPUs write state information to their private-write area, then all CPUs read all the private-write areas for functions such as detecting differences in interrupt cause or the like.
