—Soft error rates are an increasing problem in modern VLSI circuits. Commonly used error correcting codes reduce soft error rates in large memories and second level caches but ar...
Due to shrinking feature sizes processors are becoming more vulnerable to soft errors. Write-back caches are particularly vulnerable since they hold dirty data that do not exist i...

In deep sub-micron ICs, growing amounts of ondie memory and scaling effects make embedded memories increasingly vulnerable to reliability and yield problems. As scaling progresses...

We present ECC FIFO, a mechanism enabling two-tiered last-level cache error protection using an arbitrarily strong tier-2 code without increasing on-chip storage. Instead of addin...
Abstract — Nanoelectronic design faces unprecedented reliability challenges and must achieve noise immunity and delay insensitiveness in the presence of prevalent defects and sig...
