- Cascade failure - A Cascade Failure is the phenomenon on the Internet where traffic is severely impaired or halted, to or between larger sections of the internet, caused by failing or disconnected hardware or software. Somewhat similar to the more generic cascading failure found in, for instance, electrical systems, the cascade failure can affect large groups of people and systems.
- Systems Failure - Systems Failure is a role-playing game written by Bill Coffin and published by Palladium Books in 1999.
- Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action Systems - A Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) is a software system that provides a framework for controlling corrective action processes. It is used in an industrial environment to collect, record and analyse system failures.
- Catastrophic failure - A catastrophic failure is a sudden and total failure of some system from which recovery is impossible. The affected system not only experiences destruction beyond any reasonable possibility of repair, but also frequently causes injury, death, or significant damage to other, often unrelated systems.
- Chipkill - In computer memory systems, Chipkill is IBM's trademark for a form of advanced Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) computer memory technology that protects computer memory systems from any single memory chip failure as well as multi-bit errors from any portion of a single memory chip. It performs this function by scattering the bits of an ECC word across multiple memory chips, such that the failure of any one memory chip will affect ...
