Annotation-Guided Soft-Error Injection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces FITIn, a new fault-injection tool that supports instrumentation-based injections that are guided by annotations of the source code; FITIn allows for highly selective fault-injection tests. FITIn is implemented on top of the Valgrind framework. We present the major design decisions of FITIn and evaluate it using the Dhrystone benchmark.

Surgical Removal of Neglected Soft Tissue Foreign Bodies by Needle-Guided Technique
Introduction: The phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. Localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (STFBs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...
متن کاملDECAF-FSEFI: A Fine-grained, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Soft Error Fault Injection Framework for Profiling Application Vulnerability
Resilient computation has been an emerging topic in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) for several years. In particular, studies show that tolerating faults on leadershipclass supercomputers (such as exascale supercomputers) is expected to be one of the main challenges. In this paper, we utilize dynamic binary instrumentation and virtual machine based fault injection to emulate soft ...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Use of Program Vulnerability Factors for Studying Transient Fault Tolerance in Multi-core Architectures
Semiconductor transient faults (soft errors) are a critical design concern in the reliability of computer systems. Most recent architecture research is focused on using performance models to provide Architecture Vulnerability Factor (AVF) estimates of processor reliability rather than deploying detailed fault injection into hardware RTL models. While AVF analysis provides support for investigat...
متن کاملFault Injection Verification of IBM POWER6 Soft Error Resilience
Full chip statistical fault injection has been performed on a hardware emulated POWER6 platform. These results were validated against proton beam injection results. The fault isolation, error recovery and error logging capabilities of the POWER6 enabled measurement of the architectural derating factors. The proportion of errors as well as derating factors matched well between the simulated and ...
متن کاملRun-time Soft Error Injection and Testing of a Microprocessor using FPGAs
Nowadays, soft errors in logic circuits are becoming increasingly important. This is especially true in the ever shrinking nanometer technologies, and aerospace applications where soft errors are more prevalent. Previous soft error injection simulation methods using FPGAs have usually been limited to small test circuits such as ISCAS89, or parts of a larger circuit. Other software approaches ha...
