A system for initializing a distributed computer system and a method thereof

摘要

A method and device for initializing a plurality of fail silent computer nodes, coupled to a communication media; the plurality of fail silent computer nodes are adapted to exchange data frames via the communication media. The initialization is based upon sending an initialization word for synchronizing the plurality fail silent computer nodes. The transmission of an initialization word depends upon the state of the computer system and especially the status of the communication media.
