Limitations of Software Solutions for Soft Error Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses limitations of current software solutions to detecting soft errors. We identify three classes of shortcomings and argue that one class is conceptually easy to overcome, one is fundamentally impossible to overcome without added hardware support, and one can be overcome by a new solution that we propose.

متن کاملSoft Error Mitigation Schemes for High Performance and Aggressive Designs
In this paper, we address the issue of soft errors in random logic and develop solutions that provide fault tolerance capabilities without logic duplication. First, we present a circuit level soft error mitigation technique which allows systems to operate without the performance overhead of soft error detection and correction circuitry. This is achieved by sampling data using our Soft Error Mit...
