Fault Tolerant (FT) Concurrent C is a tool for writing fault tolerant distributed programs that can be run with full functionality in the presence of hardware failure. FT Concurrent C provides fault tolerance by allowing the programmer to replicate critical processes. All details of interaction with replicated (fault- tolerant) processes are handled by the FT Concurrent C run- time system. As far as the user is concerned, interacting with a replicated process is the same as interacting with an ordinary process and writing fault-tolerant distributed programs is almost the same as writing ordinary distributed programs.
