This paper describes a program which will enable a complex digital data processing system to give “first aid” to itself. Ordinarily, when an error occurs during system operations, the computer must be stopped for corrective maintenance. The FIX program, however, automatically compensates for computer malfunctions so that recovery from errors may be effected with a negligible loss of operational time. Some equipment features used by the FIX program are briefly outlined prior to a detailed discussion of the structure and function of the program itself. In its initial application in the SAGE system, FIX provided automatic recovery from more than 90% of all failures occurring during the period studied.
