Objective

• Since the programs are built independently, the objective is to improve the quality by a multiplicative factor

  • A bug only hurts if it also appears in another (N/2)+1 versions
  • This idea indeed works pretty well in hardware

• The cost issue in software is different, though

  • Not a matter of producing and testing multiple chips, but of producing multiple implementations
