چکیده
Three different VHDL-based fault injection techniques have been compared to validate a fault tolerant microcomputer system. We have studied the error pathology, their detection and recovery coverages and their latencies.

Study, comparison and application of different VHDL-based fault injection techniques for the experimental validation of a fault-tolerant system
In this work different VHDL-based fault injection techniques (simulator commands, saboteurs and mutants) have been compared and applied in the validation of a fault-tolerant system. Some extensions and implementation designs of these techniques have been introduced. As a complement of these injection techniques, a wide set of fault models (including several non-usual models) have been implement...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of VHDL Implementation of FT-2D-cGA and FT-3D-cGA on Different Benchmarks (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents the VHDL implementation of fault tolerant cellular genetic algorithm. The goal of paper is to harden the hardware implementation of the cGA against single error upset (SEU), when affecting the fitness registers in the target hardware. The proposed approach, consists of two phases; Error monitoring and error recovery. Using innovative connectivity between processing elements ...
