چکیده

When designing a VLSI circuits, most of the efforts are now performed at levels of abstractions higher than gate. Correspondingly to this clear trend, there is a growing request to tackle safety-critical issues directly at the RT-level. This paper presents a complete environment for considering safety issues at the RT level. The environment was implemented and tested by an industry for devising a sample safety-critical device. Designers were permitted to assess the effects of transient faults, automatically add fault-tolerant structures, and validate the results working on the same circuit descriptions and acting in a coherent framework. The evaluation showed the effectiveness of the proposed environment.

Novel Defect Terminolgy Beside Evaluation And Design Fault Tolerant Logic Gates In Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...

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...

Automatic Insertion of Fault-Tolerant Structures at the RT Level

Historically, there has been a lack of CAD tools for the design of on-line testable circuits. As a consequence, the design of on-line testable circuits is currently being made manually to a large extent. In this paper we propose a new tool for the automatic insertion of faulttolerant structures in an HDL synthesizable description of the design. With this tool, a fault-tolerant version of the de...

A novel design with Cellular Automata for System-Under-Test in Distributed Computing

Fault tolerant computing system is a vital criterion for reliable computation in distributed computing environment. This prerequisite has initiated system-under-test (SUT) as a testing approach to investigate the possible failure in any components of distributed computing. Validation of fault tolerant procedure is often performed by injecting faults. Fault injection causes for the actual faults...

Fault Tolerant Reversible QCA Design using TMR and Fault Detecting by a Comparator Circuit

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is an emerging and promising technology that provides significant improvements over CMOS. Recently QCA has been advocated as an applicant for implementing reversible circuits. However QCA, like other Nanotechnologies, suffers from a high fault rate. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a fault tolerant model of QCA circuits by redundancy in hardware a...
