Fault tolerance: History, Fault tolerance techniques & Examples

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to contain the propagation of faults (e.g. failed transistor, shorted connector, intermittent data bus). Faults may manifest as errors (e.g. bad data value, missing message) causing incorrect system state. Failure tolerant systems mask errors and maintain failure-free operation in the presence of one or more…
