... and IBM owns a large chunk (all) of Stratus. Their scheme employs fully-redundant, "hot-backup" voting pairs of 680xx processors -- no processing gain is attempted through parallelism. They were formed by a bunch of Multics aficionados, who wanted to see that system run on a micro, and instead of making another "me too" supermicro, they targed the niche field of fault-tolerant computing. I used to work for the competition (Tandem). Tandem uses a software/hardware approach to fault-tolerance, that provides a performance increase through large-grained distributed processing when all processors are healthy. :::::: Software Productivity Technologies -- Experiment Manager Project :::::: :::::: Jan Steinman N7JDB Box 500, MS 50-383 (w)503/627-5881 :::::: :::::: jans@tekcrl.TEK.COM Beaverton, OR 97077 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
