Fault injection on micro architectural structures modeled in performance simulators is an
effective method for the assessment of microprocessors reliability in early design stages …

Miniaturization of integrated circuits brings more devices (thus more functionality) on the
same silicon area but also makes them more vulnerable to soft (transient) errors …

The increasing density and complexity of modern microprocessors, which is driven by
manufacturing technologies scaling, significantly affect their reliability. Reliability evaluation …

As CMOS technology scales into the nanometer era, future shipped microprocessors will be
increasingly vulnerable to intermittent faults. Quantitatively characterizing the vulnerability of …

Reliability is a key design consideration for modern microprocessors. A surge of reports from
major cloud vendors describing new silent data corruption (SDC) behaviours at scale …

This paper presents a microcontroller-based software voting process that complies with
Safety Integrity Level-4 (SIL-4) requirements. The selected system architecture consists of a …

In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of voltage adjustment in a large capacity cache,
and propose the architecture of voltage-adaptable nonuniform cache access (VANUCA) that …

With the continuous decrease of CMOS feature size and threshold voltage, microprocessors
are expected to see increasing failure rates due to intermittent faults, in company with soft …

In this thesis, we present techniques to reduce a processor's soft error rate. We focus on one
of the major contributors of the on-chip soft error rates---the Instruction Issue Queue (IQ) …

ABSTRACT A (Graphics Processing Unit) GPU is a programmable processor on which
thousands of processing cores run simultaneously in massive parallelism, where each core …
