METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING RECONFIGURABLE AND RECOVERABLE COMPUTING RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing the use of digital computing resources to achieve reliability and availability of the digital computing resources, the method comprising:
- providing one or more processors with a recovery mechanism, the one or more processors executing one or more applications;
determining whether the one or more processors needs to be reconfigured; and
employing a rapid recovery to reconfigure the one or more processors when needed.

Abstract
A method for optimizing the use of digital computing resources to achieve reliability and availability of the computing resources is disclosed. The method comprises providing one or more processors with a recovery mechanism, the one or more processors executing one or more applications. A determination is made whether the one or more processors needs to be reconfigured. A rapid recovery is employed to reconfigure the one or more processors when needed. A computing system that provides reconfigurable and recoverable computing resources is also disclosed. The system comprises one or more processors with a recovery mechanism, with the one or more processors configured to execute a first application, and an additional processor configured to execute a second application different than the first application. The additional processor is reconfigurable with rapid recovery such that the additional processor can execute the first application when one of the one more processors fails.

7. A computing system that provides reconfigurable and recoverable computing resources, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors with a recovery mechanism and configured to execute a first application; a first additional processor configured to execute a second application different than the first application; wherein the additional processor is reconfigurable with rapid recovery such that the additional processor can execute the first application when one of the one more processors fails. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computing system that provides reconfigurable and recoverable computing resources, the system comprising:
-
a first processor with a recovery mechanism, the first processor configured to execute a first application; and one or more additional processors configured to execute one or more applications that are different from the first application; wherein the one or more additional processors are reconfigurable such that they can execute the first application when needed for redundancy, and wherein the one or more additional processors can be further reconfigured to execute the one or more applications again that are different from the first application when redundancy is no longer required. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
