Self-Adaptive Data Caches for Soft-Error Reliability
Soft-error induced reliability problems have become a major challenge in designing new generation microprocessors. Due to the on-chip caches' dominant share in die area and tr...

Multi-bit Error Tolerant Caches Using Two-Dimensional Error Coding
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...

Soft error benchmarking of L2 caches with PARMA
The amount of charge stored in an SRAM cell shrinks rapidly with each technology generation thus increasingly exposing caches to soft errors. Benchmarking the FIT rate of caches d...

SimTag: Exploiting tag bits similarity to improve the reliability of the data caches
— Though tag bits in the data caches are vulnerable to transient errors, few effort has been made to reduce their vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to exploit prevalent sa...
