22.1 Razor II: In Situ Error Detection and Correction for PVT and SER Tolerance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performance variation due to PVT uncertainty has led to an increased interest in adaptive designs. Traditional methods for adaptive design have used so-called canary circuits that mimic the critical-path delay of the actual design [1-4]. However, canary circuits require safety margins for possible mis-tracking and intradie PVT variations. They also have difficulty responding to rapidly changing conditions.

An approach to fault detection and correction in design of systems using of Turbo codes
We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...
متن کاملDelay-Slack Monitor for High-Performance Processors Using An All-Digital Self-Calibrating 5ps Resolution Time-to-Digital Converter
Advanced CMOS technologies have become highly susceptible to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variation. The standard approach for addressing this issue is to increase timing margin at the expense of power and performance. One approach to reclaim these losses relies on canary circuits [1] or sensors [2], which are simple to implement but cannot account for local variations. A more recent...
متن کاملA Power-efficient 32bit ARM ISA Processor using Timing- error Detection and Correction for Transient-error Tolerance and Adaptation to PVT Variation
Razor [1-3] is a hybrid technique for dynamic detection and correction of timing errors. A combination of error detecting circuits, and micro-architectural recovery mechanisms creates a system which is robust in the face of timing errors, and can be tuned to an efficient operating point by dynamically eliminating unused guardbands. Canary or tracking circuits [4-5] can compensate for certain ma...

Reversible logic is one of the new paradigms for power optimization that can be used instead of the current circuits. Moreover, the fault-tolerance capability in the form of error detection or error correction is a vital aspect for current processing systems. In this paper, as the multiplication is an important operation in computing systems, some novel reversible multiplier designs are propose...
متن کاملFalse Error Vulnerability Study of On-line Soft Error Detection Mechanisms
With technology scaling, vulnerability to soft errors in random logic is increasing. There is a need for on-line error detection and protection for logic gates even at sea level. The error checker is the key element for an on-line detection mechanism. We compare three different checkers for error detection from the point of view of area, power and false error detection rates. We find that the D...
