We use message passing between our controllers to implement the dual active portions. What design methods do people in industry use for fault-tolerant, distributed processing? How does this compare to the academic practices? How many folks from industry are on this list? From academia? At ECCS, we've become interested in more rigorous study of distributed algorithms due to problems we've had going from passive-active to active-active RAID controllers. We're working on more extensible versions of fault-tolerance than our current 2-1 redundancy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Davis | Excerpt from my latest project: Software Engineer | 000010001011100000101001000 ECCS, Inc. | 100010101111011000111010100 dand@eclipse.net | http://www.eccs.com | Whoever dies with the most toys... still dies --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------88999E04FF7304180DC1FE6F-- -- Articles to bigrigg+parallel@cs.cmu.edu (Admin: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu) Archive: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel
