This paper continues to develop a fault tolerant extension of the sparse grid combination technique recently proposed in [B. Harding and M. Hegland, ANZIAM J., 54 (CTAC2012), pp. C394-C411]. The approach is novel for two reasons, first it…
Distributed ledgers are common in the industry. Some of them can use blockchains as their underlying infrastructure. A blockchain requires participants to agree on its contents. This can be achieved via a consensus protocol, and several BFT…
Many tile systems require techniques to be applied to increase components resilience and control the FIT (Failures In Time) rate. When scaling to peta- exa-scale systems the FIT rate may become unacceptable due to component numerosity,…
