Error detection/fault treatment in the MUTEAM system

MuTEAM constitutes a continuing effort to investigate the entiality of control decentralization in the design of multimicroprocessor systems. The architecture which has been so far designed and implemented provides a set of mechanisms,in the harware, in the kernel and in programming language, to help the exploitation of decentralized non-hierarchical policies for both resource management and fault treatment. In this paper a possible ED/FT (Error Detection/Fault Treatment) policy is described, and the functionality of a precompiler, for its implementation at a very high level, is detailed. The use of such a tool allows complete transparency to the user of the redundancy which is necessary for a reliable computation.
