Draft article not currently submitted for review.

This is a draft Articles for creation (AfC) submission. It is not currently pending review. While there are no deadlines, abandoned drafts may be deleted after six months. To edit the draft click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

To be accepted, a draft should:

Show the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article by using multiple sources that meet four criteria. The sources should be (1) reliable (2) secondary (3) independent of the subject (4) talk about the subject in some depth. For some topics, there are alternative criteria.
Be written from a neutral point of view
Respect copyright and do not plagiarize. Do not copy-paste.

It is strongly discouraged to write about yourself, your business or employer. If you do so, you must declare it.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

The Preparata–Metze–Chien model, or PMC model, is a foundational model in system-level fault diagnosis, used in the analysis and design of multiprocessor systems. It was introduced in 1967 by Franco P. Preparata, Gernot Metze, and Robert Tienwen Chien in the context of improving the fault tolerance of large-scale distributed systems.

In the PMC model, the system is modeled as a directed graph, where each vertex represents a processor and a directed edge from vertex u to v indicates that processor u can test processor v. A key assumption of the model is that only fault-free processors produce reliable test results. The collection of all test outcomes is called a syndrome, which is analyzed to determine the identity of faulty nodes.

A system is said to be t-diagnosable under the PMC model if any faulty set of up to t processors can be uniquely identified from the syndrome. The diagnosability of a graph is the largest such t.

The model continues to play a central role in research on reliable computing and has influenced a wide range of diagnostic algorithms and network design methodologies.
