Architecture Design for Soft Errors

This book provides a comprehensive description of the architetural techniques to tackle the soft error problem. It covers the new methodologies for quantitative analysis of soft errors as well as novel, cost-effective architectural techniques to mitigate them. To provide readers with a better grasp of the broader problem deffinition and solution space, this book also delves into the physics of soft errors and reviews current circuit and software mitigation techniques.TABLE OF CONTENTSChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Device- and Circuit-Level Modeling, Measurement, and MitigationChapter 3: Architectural Vulnerability AnalysisChapter 4: Advanced Architectural Vulnerability AnalysisChapter 5: Error Coding TechniquesChapter 6: Fault Detection via Redundant ExecutionChapter 7: Hardware Error RecoveryChapter 8: Software Detection and Recovery* Provides the methodologies necessary to quantify the effect of radiation-induced soft errors as well as state-of-the-art techniques to protect against them
