The 3B20D Processor is designed to be a high-availability system for utilization in electronic switching systems. This high availability translates into the development ofnumerous features and capabilities for the 3B20D that distinguish it from otherprocessors. The reliability objectives for the processor are described and related to the subsystems that have been developed to meet each objective. This article discusses processor and peripheral fault recovery, system integrity, and other software subsystems that provide the high availability and maintainability for the processor.FAULT DETECTION AND RECOVERY 351
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
