Operating systems can play a key role in keeping a system highly available. Most off-the-shelf OS vendors, however, are only starting to address fault-tolerance by offering hardened versions of their ...

DC-DC converters are pivotal components in power electronics, underpinning applications ranging from aerospace systems to renewable energy installations. As these converters frequently operate in ...

Designing a system for fault tolerance is a robust design principle for building systems that will continue to operate correctly or in an acceptable degraded fashion. This approach is appropriate for ...

As a result, more emphasis has been placed on specific applications and processes for which performance and reliability have become tantamount to success and growth. Each time a process is automated ...

Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

Embedded electronic control units are finding their way into more and more complex safety critical and mission critical applications. Many of these applications operate in adverse conditions, which ...

Universal gate set. A discrete set of gates is universal if the gates in the set can be arranged to make any unitary gate that is desired with arbitrary precision. An example of a two-qubit gate is a ...

IBM has recently taken a significant leap in the quantum computing arena by unveiling two new quantum processors. One of these processors is particularly noteworthy as it provides a blueprint for ...
