Abstract

ArchOn is a new architecture-open, resource-driven, and layer-agnostic modelling method for large complex computing systems focusing on system performance and survivability metrics, including speed, throughput, and crucially, reliability. This paper describes first exploratory uses of ArchOn to model system operations under uncertainties in both the environment and system components. The resource-driven nature of ArchOn allows the modelling of uncertainty in terms of disruptions in the resource dependencies, which can relate to such real-world issues as single event upsets (SEUs) in hardware. A system solving a typical image processing problem serves as the example target system for this exploration.
