Applying architectural vulnerability Analysis to hard faults in the microprocessor
In this paper, we present a new metric, Hard-Fault Architectural Vulnerability Factor (H-AVF), to allow designers to more effectively compare alternate hard-fault tolerance scheme...

A Systematic Methodology to Compute the Architectural Vulnerability Factors for a High-Performance Microprocessor
Single-event upsets from particle strikes have become a key challenge in microprocessor design. Techniques to deal with these transient faults exist, but come at a cost. Designers...

Using hardware vulnerability factors to enhance AVF analysis
Fault tolerance is now a primary design constraint for all major microprocessors. One step in determining a processor’s compliance to its failure rate target is measuring the Ar...
