Abstract: The fault-tolerant multiprocessor (FTMP) is a bus-based multiprocessor architecture with real-time and fault-tolerance features and is used in critical aerospace applications. In this paper, stochastic Petri nets (SPN) are reviewed, and SPN-based performance models for FTMP are developed. These performance methods enable efficient computation of important performance measures.
