This paper describes FTAPE (Fault Tolerance And Performance Evaluator), a tool that can be used to compare fault-tolerant computers. Themajor parts of the tool include a system-wide fault injector, a workloadgenerator, and a workload activity measurement tool. The workload createshigh stress conditions on the machine. Using stress-based injection,the fault injector is able to utilize knowledge of the workload activity to ensurea high level of fault propagation. The errors/fault...
