1. A computing machine, comprising: a pipeline bus operable to carry data; a system-restore bus that is separate from the pipeline bus; a pipeline accelerator operable to drive pipeline data onto the pipeline bus and to periodically drive onto the system-restore bus accelerator information representative of an operational data state of the pipeline accelerator; a host processor separate from the pipeline accelerator operable to drive host data onto the pipeline bus and to periodically drive onto the system-restore bus processor information representative of an operational data state of the host processor; and a redundant processor separate from the pipeline accelerator and separate from the host processor operable to receive one of the pipeline data and the host data from the pipeline bus and to receive one of the pipeline information and the processor information from the system-restore bus in response to a failure of a respective one of the host processor and the pipeline accelerator.
