SUMMARY:Fault tolerant systems - James Riordan\, Magdalene College

DTEND:20151202T194000Z
UID:TALK62536@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Matthew Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Technology breaks and goes wrong. The Ariane 5 rocket disaster
 . Your laptop just before a deadline. How as Computer Scientists\, can we 
 make systems more reliable than their components? How do we design systems
  that run 24 hours a day\, every day of the year? This talk will introduce
  hardware and information redundancies to improve fault tolerance\, and ho
 w building on top of these primitives is used to create non-stop processin
 g systems.
