Malik 2,2 Department of Statistics, M.D. University, Rohtak, Haryana, INDIA ABSTRACT The semi-markov process and regenerative point technique are adopted to obtain reliability measures of a computer system by providing software redundancy in cold standby. Initially, hardware and software work together in the system which may fail independently with some probability. There is a single server who repairs the system at hardware failure while software is up-graded as per requirements. The repair and up-gradation activities are performed perfectly and efficiently by the server. The time to hardware and software failures follows negative exponential distribution, whereas the distributions of hardware repair and software up-gradation times are taken as arbitrary with different probability density functions. Graphs are drawn to depict the behaviour of some important performance and economic measures of the system model for arbitrary values of various parameters and costs. Keywords- Computer System, Software Redundancy, Reliability Measures and Stochastic Model. I. INTRODUCTION The importance of computer systems cannot be denied in the corporate or business world, at the workplace and even in one s personnel life. They also serve as useful tools for communications and record keeping while saving tons of times of the organizations. But a computer system would not be able to function properly without software that empowers the computer to communicate the results. Therefore, there is a definite need to place emphasis on reliability of computer software. Several techniques have been suggested by the designers and engineers for performance improvement of the systems. The unit wise redundancy technique has been considered as one of these in the development of stochastic models for computer systems. Malik and Anand (200, 2), Malik and Sureria (202) and Kumar et al. (203) analyzed computers systems with cold standby redundancy under different failures and repair policies. Also, Malik and Munday (204) tried to establish a stochastic model for a computer system by providing hardware redundancy in cold standby. The basic interest of the authors in this paper is to evaluate reliability measures of a computer system with software redundancy in cold standby. For this purpose, a stochastic model is developed for a computer system in which hardware and software failures occur independently with some probability. There is a single server who repairs the system at hardware failure while software is up-graded as per requirements. The repair and up-gradation activities are performed perfectly and efficiently by the server. The time to hardware and software failures follows negative exponential distribution, whereas the distributions of hardware repair and software up-gradation times are taken as arbitrary with different probability density functions. The semi- Markov process and regenerative point technique are used to derive the expressions for transition probabilities, mean sojourn times, mean time to system failure (MTSF), availability, busy period of the server due to hardware repair and software up-gradation, expected number of hardware repairs and expected number of software up-gradations. Graphs are drawn to depict the behaviour of some important performance and economic measures of the system model for arbitrary values of various parameters and costs. II.

7 XI. CONCLUSION REFERENCES The behaviour of some important performance measures such as MTSF, availability and profit with respect to hardware failure rate (λλ ) has been observed for arbitrary values of various parameters including K 0 = 5000, K 000, K 2 = 700, K 3 = 500, K 4 = 200 with a=0.6 and b=0.4 as shown respectively in figures 2, 3 and 4. It is revealed that these measures go on decreasing with the increase of hardware and software failure rates. But, their values increase with the increase of hardware repair rate (α) and up-gradation rate (θ). On the other hand, if the values of a and b are interchanged i.e. a=0.4 and b=0.6, than MTSF and availability of the system increase while profit declines. Hence the study reveals that a computer system in which software redundancy is provided in cold standby be more profitable if it has more chances of hardware failure may because of the less hardware repairable cost.
