DEVICE FOR SOLVING OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G06F17/50 

FIELD: computer engineering, possible use for solving problems concerning determining amount of reserved elements, ensuring given level of system reliability while limiting costs of its manufacture.

SUBSTANCE: device contains input switchboard 1, control device 2, blocks 3₁, 3₂,..., 3_n for computing a probability of failure, blocks 4₁, 4₂,..., 4_N for computing costs, first 5₁, 5₂,..., 5_N-1 and second 8₁, 8₂,...,8_n-1 groups of adders, comparators 6₁, 6₂,..., 6_N-1, first 7₁, 7₂,...,7_N-1 and second 10₁, 10₂,...,10_N-1 groups of random access recording devices, elements "AND" 9₁, 9₂,...,9_N-1, indication block 11. The goal is achieved by introducing input switchboard, blocks for computing failure probability, blocks for computing costs, adders, comparators, first and second groups of random access recording devices, elements "AND" and indication block into prototype device.

EFFECT: automated detection of most efficient configuration for a system with set reliability level.
