Abstract
Spatial redundancy denotes computation charaterized by simultaneous execution of redundant program elements on separate computing channels. This paper presents a mechanism called molecular activity for the support of spatially redundant distributed computation. It is shown that molecular activities extend the domain of existing software fault-tolerance techniques to include applications constructed as sets of communicating processes and involving access to global data. Molecular activities also allow exploitation of high-level parallelism in a large class of applications, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence. (Author)
