FTROM: A Silicon Compiler for Fault-tolerant ROMs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new CAD tool, FTROM — Fault-Tolerant ROM compiler, which synthesizes layout geometries of fault-tolerant ROM modules with flexible, user-specified geometry and CMOS design-rule parameters. This physical design tool produces high-quality built-in self-testable (BIST) and fault-tolerant ROM layouts and uses a novel, minimum-delay overhead approach for fault-tolerance. A tool like FTROMeliminates the high cost of external testing of embedded ROM macros with I/O pins that are difficult to control and observe. ( 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

An architecture has been developed for a high performance VLSI digital signal processor that is highly reliable, fault tolerant and radiation hard. The signal processor, part of a spacecraft receiver designed to support uplink radio science experiments at the outer planets, organizes the connections between redundant arithmetic resources, register les and memory through a shuue exchange communi...
متن کاملRuntime Verification for Ultra-Critical Systems
Runtime verification (RV) is a natural fit for ultra-critical systems, where correctness is imperative. In ultra-critical systems, even if the software is fault-free, because of the inherent unreliability of commodity hardware and the adversity of operational environments, processing units (and their hosted software) are replicated, and fault-tolerant algorithms are used to compare the outputs....
متن کاملExploring the Synergy of Emerging Workloads and Silicon Reliability Trends
Technology constraints and application characteristics are radically changing as we scale to the end of silicon technology. Devices are becoming increasingly brittle, highly varying in their properties, and error-prone, leading to a fundamentally unpredictable hardware substrate. Applications are also changing, and emerging new classes of applications are increasingly relying on probabilistic m...
متن کاملPortable and fault-tolerant software systems
High availability is essential to heterogeneous computer networks, which are the basis of many systems ranging from the Internet to fly-by-wire flight controls. Development of highly available systems, however, is constrained by ever shorter times to market and the availability of off-the-shelf hardware and software (see the “Examples” box). Consequently, the economic necessity of using commodi...
متن کاملNovel efficient fault-tolerant full-adder for quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are an emerging technology and a possible alternative for semiconductor transistor based technologies. A novel fault-tolerant QCA full-adder cell is proposed: This component is simple in structure and suitable for designing fault-tolerant QCA circuits. The redundant version of QCA full-adder cell is powerful in terms of implementing robust digital functions. ...
