The project is about automatic fault treatment (recovery from failures); that is if a replica crashes (or gets partitioned) new replica(s) will be installed on alternative machines to ensure a configured redundancy level is maintained without any human intervention.</span><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Monaco" size="2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></span></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 10px; ">Details about the project as well as the source code can be found here: <a href="http://darm.ux.uis.no/">http://darm.ux.uis.no/</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 10px; "><br>With respect to DARM, we would very much like to perform more rigorous tests with real applications/scenarios. Therefore, I wonder if there are anyone who have an application that we could use to perform measurements/tests on with respect to the recovery performance of DARM. So far we have only used a simple echo application for this purpose. (if the code is closed source, we will obviously not distribute it or otherwise use it for other purposes than performance evaluation.)</span></div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Monaco" size="2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;">If you have comments, wishes or other feedback, please send them to: <a href="mailto:hein.meling@uis.no">hein.meling@uis.no</a> </span></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 10px; "><br>Kind regards,<br><br> :) Hein Meling<br></span></div></body></html>
