Modern processors incorporate complex arithmetic units that can work with large word-lengths. Those units are useful for applications that require high precision. There are however, many applications for which the use of ...

Fault tolerance has become a fundamental concern in computer design, in addition to performance and power. Although several error detection schemes have been proposed to discover a faulty core in the system, these proposals ...

Reliability is becoming a major design concern in contemporary microprocessors since soft error rate is increasing due to technology scaling. Therefore, design time system vulnerability estimation is of paramount importance. ...

A novel method to protect a system against errors resulting from soft errors occurring in the virtual address (VA) storing structures such as translation lookaside buffers (TLB), physical register file (PRF) and the program ...
