Duplicating processors does not guarantee reliability, but one can often achieve increased reliability by duplicating critical components. There are many ways of configuring multiprocessor systems; most of them, how-ever, can be classified as either parallel processing systems or on-line/standby systems. In parallel processing systems all the processors are essentially on-line concurrently. For applications where some loss of continuity can be tolerated, the on-line/standby variety of redundant processor system can provide satisfactory reliability for less money.
