چکیده

system has very much importance because it will increase performance and accuracy. The fault injection method is used to find out the fault tolerance of a system. This method is valuable and attractive. In this paper fast FPGA based fault injector for memory unit is introduced. In previous FPGA based fault injection methods the response according to the fault injection is send to the observation system which is a personal computer. So in the case of large volume data there will be communication latency between this observation unit and FPGA. In this advanced tool all the modules in the fault injection environment is designed inside the FPGA itself. So there is no communication latency. This fault injector inject fault to the memory designed inside the FPGA, find out the architecture error and correct it. SPATAN 3E FPGA is used for this design. VHDL language is used for the FPGA design.

Understanding Communication Faults in Parallel Computers

This paper addresses the evaluation of the dependability properties of distributed memory parallel systems through fault injection. The most popular parallel computers are based on the distributed memory architecture where loosely coupled processors communicate by message-passing. Fault tolerance is an issue which increasingly concerns manufacturers and end users of these systems as the probabi...

An RTOS-based Fault Injection Simulator for Embedded Processors

Evaluating embedded systems vulnerability to faults injection attacks has gained importance in recent years due to the rising threats they bring to chips security. The task is particularly important for micro-controllers since they have lower resistance to fault attacks compared to hardware-based cryptosystems. This paper reviews recent embedded fault injection simulators from literature and pr...

An Approach to Reducing the Cost of Fault Injection

This paper describes a fully automated pre-injection analysis technique aimed at reducing the cost of fault injection campaigns. The technique reduces the fault-space by utilizing assembly-level knowledge of the target system in order to place single bit-flips in registers and memory locations only immediately before these are read by the executed instructions. This way, faults (time-location p...
