Title
Reliability and the computer
Abstract
The subject of reliability and the modern-day computer is far reaching and complex. The difficulties of designing and manufacturing computing devices which themselves exhibit long intervals of trouble-free operation are now fairly well understood, but many kinds of applications are yet to come in which a computer is but part of a larger system. For these, the consequences to the computer of a requirement for a reliable system may not yet be known. To some, reliability and a computer are mutually exclusive, but existing computing devices do operate trouble-free for long periods, and it is more than an accident that this is the case. This paper reviews a few salient aspects of the computer reliability problem, contributes a new view-point to some parts of the reliability question, and suggests areas where the techniques of the previous papers may be pertinent.
