Abstract: In this paper we propose architecture for a Reconfigurable, Adaptive, Fault-Tolerant (RAFT) framework for application in real time systems with require multiple levels of redundancy and protection. Typical application environments include distributed processing, fault-tolerant computation, and mission and safety-critical systems. The framework uses Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies with on the fly partial programmability achieving reconfiguration of a system component when the existing components fail or to provide extra reliability as required in the specification. The framework proposes the use an array of FPGA devices to implement a system that, after detecting an error caused by a fault, can adaptively reconfigure itself

本文目的是提出構(gòu)建一個(gè)有自適應(yīng)和容錯(cuò)(筏)性質(zhì)的框架，它應(yīng)用在需要多層次的冗余保護(hù)的實(shí)時(shí)系統(tǒng), 典型應(yīng)用環(huán)境包括分布式處理,容錯(cuò)計(jì)算,和任務(wù)與安全至關(guān)重要的系統(tǒng). 該框架采用了現(xiàn)場可編程門陣列( FPGA )技術(shù)的飛局部可編程功能實(shí)現(xiàn)重構(gòu)系統(tǒng)組件，當(dāng)現(xiàn)有的組件損壞或未能提供額外可靠性所要求的規(guī)格時(shí)，可以重構(gòu)系統(tǒng). 該框架提出使用一組現(xiàn)場可編程門陣列器件實(shí)現(xiàn)一種系統(tǒng), 這種系統(tǒng) 經(jīng)過檢測一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤所造成的過失,可通過自適應(yīng)重構(gòu)實(shí)現(xiàn)容錯(cuò). 在現(xiàn)場可編程門陣列中,通過定義了一種系統(tǒng)模式,使對系統(tǒng)用戶定義不同級別的可靠性選擇,提供一個(gè)監(jiān)督層的系統(tǒng)工程師，使其提供越來越廣泛地成為一個(gè)低成本的開發(fā)。
