Abstract
A fault does not necessarily cause an immediately effective error, thereby leading to a system failure. Many experiments have shown that most hardware faults do not cause immediately detectable errors. In fact, it has been found that a significant proportion of the faults injected during the experiments remained latent, i.e. went undetected. In this paper we call this phenomenon the latency problem. An analytical model is developed in the paper to study the effects of the latency problem on fault-tolerant computer systems. Some of the results of our sensitivity analysis are presented and discussed.
