System reliability is an important issue in designing modern multiprocessor systems. This paper proposes a fault-tolerant, scalable, multiprocessor system architecture that adopts a pipeline scheme. To verify the performance of the proposed system, the SimEvent/Stateflow tool of the MATLAB program was used to simulate the system. The proposed system uses twelve processors (P), connected in a linear array, to build a ten-stage system with two backup processors (BP). However, the system can be expanded by adding more processors to increase pipeline stages and performance, and more backup processors to increase system reliability. The system can automatically reorganize itself in the event of a failure of one or two processors and execution continues without interruption. Each processor communicates with its neighboring processors through input/output (I/O) ports which are used as bypass links between the processors. In the event of a processor failure, the function of the faulty processor is assigned to the next processor that is free from faults. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is implemented on the simulated circuit to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The results showed that the system can continue to execute even if one or two processors fail without a noticeable decrease in performance.
