Abstract
The author describes the architecture of fault tolerant processors. It features fault masking by majority voting, based on the cell´s reliability. Each node cell must consist of two operation modes; one is its own native operation mode while the other is the subject cell´s copied operation mode, where the cell reliability can be assessed by self-recognition. Two possible implementations for array and tree structures are presented, and simulations for the fault-tolerant effectiveness of these architectures are given.<>
