Abstract
A method for synchronously running an application in a high availability environment including a plurality of calculating modules interconnected by a very high-speed broad band network, includes: configuring the modules into partitions including a primary and a secondary partition and a monitoring partition; running the application on each running partition, inputs-outputs processed by the primary partition transmitted to the secondary running partition via the monitoring partition; synchronizing the runnings via exploiting microprocessor context changes; transmitting a catastrophic error signal to the monitoring partition; continuing the running by switching to a degraded mode, the running continuing on a single partition.
