Adaptive Fault Diagnosis using Syndrome Analysis for Hypercube Network

  • Published : 2006.08.01

Abstract

System-level diagnosis plays an important technique for fault detection in multi-processor systems. Efficient diagnosis is very important for real time systems as well as multiprocessor systems. Feng(1) proposed two adaptive diagnosis algorithms HADA and IHADA for hypercube system. The diagnosis cost, measured by diagnosis time and the number of test links, depends on the number and location of the faults. In this paper, we propose an adaptive diagnosis algorithm using the syndrome analysis. This removes unnecessary overhead generated in HADA and IHADA algorithm sand give a better performance compared to Feng's Method.
