Abstract

A method is suggested of the mutual information agreementin multicomputer systems with intercomputer bus-type communication channels and the broadcast way of transfer of intercomputer messages. The method makes it possible to detect and identify symptoms (both by the places of their emergence and by the types of faults, such as malfunctions programmed malfunctions, or failures) of multiple faults of computers and transmitting interfaces (interface devices) with communication channels, which can occur in all cycles of the interchange. In addition, the method enables one to distinguish, first, faults of computers and transmitting interfaces, if it is possible, and, second, the situation of the nondelivery of a message in initial cycles and the situation of the delivery of this message with distortions.
