SYNCHRONIZATION OF PROCESSORS IN A FAULT TOLERANT MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system are described for synchronizing a first processor (10) unit with a second processor unit (20) in a fault tolerant system comprising a plurality of processing units where all processing units are executing the same processes in synchronization. The invention is readily adapted to a system of loosely coupled processing units with a low bandwidth communication channel (16) coupled between the processing units.
