Abstract
In an embodiment of the present invention, a method receives, at a first node of multiple nodes, each node connected to a common network bus, a health message from a second node. The health message includes a log of health messages from other nodes. Each node sends health messages at a frequency known to the plurality of nodes. The method further compares, at the first node, the log of messages from other nodes in the received health message to a log of health messages previously received from other nodes stored by the first node. Based on the comparison, determining a health status of each node. Using embodiments of the present method and system, computing units can form dynamic fault-tolerant groups.
