            Abstract : 
The authors model three candidate fault-tolerant hypercube architectures, compare their reliability analyses, and discuss the resulting implications on these methods of incorporating fault tolerance into hypercube multiprocessors. In the course of performing the reliability analyses, they demonstrate the use of the hybrid automated reliability predictor (HARP) and fault trees in modeling sequence-dependent system behaviors
