WIZ - Reliability indexes - page 4

Any ZOZ object can specify some minimum RI for any operation done with it.

For example, a memory may specify a required minimum RI. Whenever that memory is stored or modified, the ZOZ will automatically store it in enough places spread out far enough so that the required RI is maintained.

These copies would then forever monitor each other. If any failed and the RI of the group dropped below the threshold, a new copy would be created immediately, bringing the RI back to the required RI.

Arithmetic operations can also be made reliable in the same way. If you request a multiplier with a very high RI, the ZOZ may automatically use several lower RI multipliers, and not consider the combined "ready" bit to be high until all multipliers in the group are not only done, but also agree. (This would have great application in the field of radiation-tolerant computing.)
