Fault-tolerant computer cluster and a method for operating a cluster of this type

The invention relates to a computer cluster comprising a network plane ( 10 ) and a processing plane ( 30 ). In said cluster, the network plane ( 10 ) is formed by at least one network computer ( 11, 12, 13 ), which is configured to assign a time tag to incoming request data ( 7 ) The processing pla...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a computer cluster comprising a network plane ( 10 ) and a processing plane ( 30 ). In said cluster, the network plane ( 10 ) is formed by at least one network computer ( 11, 12, 13 ), which is configured to assign a time tag to incoming request data ( 7 ) The processing plane ( 30 ) is composed of at least two processing computers ( 201, 202, 20 x , 211, 212, 21 y , 221, 222, 22 z ), which are supplied in parallel with the request data ( 7 ) from the network plane ( 10 ). Each processing computer is configured to process the request data ( 7 ) in a subsequent processing step, if the current value of the time tag falls within a respective significant value range. An "implicit syncronisation" of the computers is thus achieved in a simple manner.
