Abstract

A new modular, fault-tolerant scheme is proposed for the binary tree architecture. The approach uses redundant modular fault- tolerant building blocks to construct the complete binary tree. The restructuring operation is local to each faulty module. The proposed scheme is shown to be more reliable and easier to implement than the existing fault-tolerant schemes.
