Resource-driven Modelling of Complex Digital Systems withrnUncertainty

摘要

ArchOn is a new architecture-open, resource-driven, and layer-agnostic modellingrnmethod for large complex computing systems focusing on system performance andrnsurvivability metrics, including speed, throughput, and crucially, reliability. Thisrnpaper describes first exploratory uses of ArchOn to model system operations underrnuncertainties in both the environment and system components. The resource-drivenrnnature of ArchOn allows the modelling of uncertainty in terms of disruptions in thernresource dependencies, which can relate to such real-world issues as single eventrnupsets (SEUs) in hardware. A system solving a typical image processing problemrnserves as the example target system for this exploration.
