Abstract

Diagnosability of a multiprocessor system is an important measure of the reliability of interconnection networks. System-level diagnosis is a primary strategy to identify the faulty processors in a multiprocessor system. Based on a sound assumption proposed by Zhu et al. recently, we proposed a new diagnosability named non-inclusion diagnosability and showed that the non-inclusion diagnosability \( t_N(Q_n)\) of the hypercube under the PMC model is \( 2n-2\). That is, assume that if two vertex sets \( F_1\) and \( F_2\) are both consistent with a syndrome and \( F_1\subset F_2\), then \( F_2\) is not the faulty set which we are looking for; the faulty set F is 1-step diagnosable if \( |F|\leqslant 2n-2\) in \( Q_n\) under the PMC model.
