CMOS scaling increases susceptibility of microprocessors to transient faults. Most current proposals for transient-fault detection use full redundancy to achieve perfect coverage ...
—Soft errors (or Transient faults) are temporary faults that arise in a circuit due to a variety of internal noise and external sources such as cosmic particle hits. Though soft ...

This paper presents a novel technique, Memory Mapped ECC, which reduces the cost of providing error correction for SRAM caches. It is important to limit such overheads as processo...
Transient faults due to particle strikes are a key challenge in microprocessor design. Driven by exponentially increasing transistor counts, per-chip faults are a growing burden. ...
