First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of adapting fault tolerant computing, said method comprising the steps of:
- measuring an environmental condition representative of an environment;
analyzing an on-board processing system'"'"'s sensitivity to said measured environmental condition; and
determining whether to reconfigure a fault tolerance of said on-board processing system based in part on said measured environmental condition.

Abstract
A method and system for adapting fault tolerant computing. The method includes the steps of measuring an environmental condition representative of an environment. An on-board processing system'"'"'s sensitivity to the measured environmental condition is measured. It is determined whether to reconfigure a fault tolerance of the on-board processing system based in part on the measured environmental condition. The fault tolerance of the on-board processing system may be reconfigured based in part on the measured environmental condition.

16. A system for environmentally adaptive fault tolerant computing, said system comprising:
-
a sensor that senses a characteristic of a dynamic environment and generates an output signal based on said characteristic;
a system configuration controller that receives said output signal, said controller assessing a potential environmental threat to an availability of said system based in part on said output signal; and
a computing device that receives an input from said controller wherein a configuration of said computing device is adapted to effectively mitigate said potential environmental threat to said system'"'"'s availability. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
