摘要: Abstract In many critical applications of digital systems, fault tolerance has been an essential architectural attribute for achieving high reliability. recent years, the concept performability such systems drawn attention researchers. this paper we develop a general Markov model tolerant computer systems. Various important performance measures, including measures as well some new are treated in unified manner. Furthermore, and efficient computational procedures developed calculating these based on uniformization technique Keilson. A numerical example is given to illustrate developed.
