While graphics processing units (GPUs) have gained wide adoption as accelerators for general-purpose applications (GPGPU), the end-to-end reliability implications of their use have not been quantified. Fault injection is a widely used method for evaluating the reliability of applications. However, building a fault injector for GPGPU applications is challenging due to their massive parallelism, ...

the study area locates between an active fault system of north anatolian in turkey and active alborz and zagros mountain ranges in iran. the total shortening concluded from arabia-eurasia collision with a rate of 22 mm/year across the ne persia is partitioned  into  two  fault  systems,  right-lateral  strike slip  movements  in  the  turkish-iranian  plateau  like  north tabriz fault system an...

The advance in IC processing technology rapidly reduces spacing between adjacent wires; which renders crosstalk fault an important source of anomaly in deep subcicrom VLSI. As a result, crosstalk fault detection should be an essential part in SOC testing. Although IEEE P1500 has been developed to test interconnects in SOC. this standard is not suitable for coupling fault testing. In this paper,...

In this paper a best method of fault locating in a radial power distribution system is discussed. The history associated with fault occurred in power system can be effectively used as a strong database. This database will act as the trainer to the fuzzy expert system. In this paper methodology based on fuzzy expert system is discussed for assistance to the operators for easy fault detection.Ele...

Fault diagnosis depends largely on feature analysis of vibration signals. However, feature extraction for fault diagnosis is difficult because the vibration signals often contain a strong noise component. Noises stronger than the actual fault signal may interfere with diagnosis and ultimately cause misdiagnosis. In order to extract the feature from a fault signal highly contaminated by the nois...

Arc fault is one of the most critical reasons for electrical fires. Due to the diversity, randomness and concealment of arc faults in low-voltage circuits, it is difficult for general methods to protect all loads from series arc faults. From the analysis of many series arc faults, a large number of high frequency signals generated in circuits are found. These signals are easily affected by Gaus...

this paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. a new linear matrix inequality (lmi) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (fafe). the fafe is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...

In this paper, an approach is proposed for accurate locating of single phase faults in transmission lines using voltage signals measured at one-end. In this method, harmonic components of the voltage signals are extracted through Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and are normalized by a transformation. The proposed fault locator, which is designed based on Random Forests (RF) algorithm, is train...

Most existing techniques for the design and implementation of fault tolerance use resource redundancy. As such, due to scarcity of resources, it is difficult to directly apply them for adding fault tolerance to sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Thus, it is desirable to develop techniques that implement fault tolerance under the constraints of memory and processing power of sensor...

Software testing is a significant phase in any software development lifecycle irrespective of the type of software being developed. The main goal of software testing phase is to minimize the software faults in a system and increase its reliability. A software fault is an unintended mistake that causes failure of the system or any system component. Therefore, it is vital that the system is teste...
