Software fault tolerance in computational architecture refers to the ability of a system to continue functioning properly in the event of a software failure or error. It involves mechanisms designed to detect, isolate, and recover from faults that may occur within the system's software. This can include methods such as redundancy, data replication, and error detection and correction codes, which can help minimize the impact of software faults and ensure that the system remains operational. Fault-tolerant software can help prevent system crashes, data loss, and other negative impacts that can result from software failures, and can help ensure that critical systems remain reliable and available.
