ABSTRACT:
In a computer system having fault recoverable capability, there is included a first and second data processing unit (DPU), wherein each of the first and second DPU is executing the same task essentially in parallel. Each DPU comprises a processor, a memory and a protected memory. The protected memory stores system data, such that the system data stored in the protected memory is immune from transient conditions. Also included is a monitor, which is operatively connected to the monitor of the other DPU. The monitor detects the occurrence of an upset to reinitialize the DPU, the DPU being reinitialized to a condition just prior to the occurrence of the upset thus avoiding utilization of any potentially erroneous data, and thereby permitting the DPU to return to its normal processing with valid data.
