MODULAR REDUNDANCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338284 titled 'MODULAR REDUNDANCY
The patent application provides techniques for implementing redundancy more effectively and efficiently. These techniques involve a voting service that receives output from processes running on three different hardware devices to determine the output provided to the consumer.
- Voting service optimized based on location, input received, process execution on hardware devices, and output delivery.
- Techniques complement or replace other redundancy methods.
- Focus on optimizing redundancy implementation for improved performance.
Potential Applications: - Critical systems where redundancy is essential. - High availability applications requiring failover mechanisms.
Problems Solved: - Enhancing system reliability through redundancy. - Improving fault tolerance in critical operations.
Benefits: - Increased system reliability. - Enhanced fault tolerance. - Improved performance in critical applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Redundancy Techniques for Critical Systems This technology can be applied in industries such as aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and healthcare where system reliability is crucial. It can also be utilized in data centers and cloud computing environments to ensure high availability.
Questions about Enhanced Redundancy Techniques for Critical Systems: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional redundancy methods?
This technology offers more efficient and optimized redundancy implementation compared to traditional methods by utilizing a voting service and optimizing various aspects of the process.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing these techniques?
By improving system reliability and fault tolerance, organizations can potentially save costs associated with downtime and system failures.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides more effective and/or efficient techniques for implementing redundancy. for example, some techniques include a voting service that receives output from processes executing on three different hardware devices to determine which output to provide to a consumer of the output. such techniques are optimized through where the voting service is located, what is received by the voting service, how processes are executed on the three different hardware devices, and how output is provided to the consumer, as further discussed herein. such techniques optionally complement or replace other methods for implementing redundancy.
