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...
Exception handling design is an important but difficult subject in software development. In Java software development, the use of checked exceptions exacerbates the difficulty. In...
In this paper we present an analytical model for estimating architecture-based software reliability, according to the reliability of each component, the operational profile, and t...
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a safety-analysis technique that has been recently extended to accommodate product-line engineering for critical domains. This paper describes a tool-...
Aggressive technology scaling to 45nm and below introduces serious reliability challenges to the design of microprocessors. Large SRAM structures used for caches are particularly ...
