We introduce a model of the fidelity of open systems—fidelity being interpreted here as the
compliance between corresponding figures of interest in two separate but communicating …

Ensuring a timing guarantee is crucial for time-critical applications. However, this task
becomes more challenging with the increasing performance variability generated by …

Energy saving is important for both high-end processors and battery-powered devices.
However, for time-critical application such as car auto-driving systems and multimedia …

In this Chapter, we focus on the concept of performance variation in digital systems and
discuss its sources, mainly the interdependence with certain phenomena manifesting in the …

This chapter introduces the research topic of this thesis, including the background,
motivation, scope, and significance of the work. We will start with an introduction of the goal …

The integration scale in one chip in the last decades has improved dramatically, highlighting
in the same time critical reliability issues. Run-time mechanisms that correct errors in real …

Reliability is one of the most critical issues in digital design for ensuring functionality in a
least-intrusive way. Operational errors can be induced by stochastic factors like random …

The HARPA-RT sits at a low level in the system stack and is in direct contact with the various
monitors and knobs. It has responsive control on hardware resources, enabling extremely …

We introduce a model of the fidelity of open systems—fidelity being interpreted here as the
compliance between corresponding figures of interest in two separate but communicating …

This chapter describes the context, reviews the research challenges and motivates the
proposed design approach of this book. In addition, an overview of the main contributions …
