StealthWorks: Emulating Memory Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of Google’s data center revealed that the incidence of main memory errors is surprisingly high. These errors can lead to application and system corruption, impacting reliability. The high error rate is an indication that new resiliency techniques will be vital in future memories. To develop such approaches, a framework is needed to conduct flexible and repeatable experiments. This paper describes such a framework, StealthWorks, to facilitate research on software resilience by behaviorally emulating memory errors in a live system. We illustrate it to study program tolerance to random errors and in the development of a new software technique to continuously test memory for errors.

RAMBO and RAMBO II are algorithms for emulating shared memory in a distributed asynchronous environment with nodes joining and leaving the system dynamically. This report tries to describe RAMBO and RAMBO II to people without background in I/O automata.
متن کاملEmulating a large memory with a collection of small ones
Sequential computation is well understood but does not scale well with current technology. Within the next decade, systems will contain large numbers of processors with potentially thousands of processors per chip in order to deliver continuing growth in performance. Despite this, many computational problems exhibit little or no parallelism and many existing formulations are sequential. It is t...

The Basolateral Amygdala (BLA) has modulatory effects on working and reference memory. The aim of this study was the evaluation of effects of dopaminergic system in the BLA of rats on working and reference memory behaviors. The number of working and reference errors and time spent in the arms by rats were measured in the radial arm maze according to DSWS protocol. The animals were cannulated in...
