Dual-execution/checkpointing based transient error tolerance techniques have been widely used in the high-end mission critical systems. These techniques, however, are not very att...
Signal processing and multimedia applications are often implemented on resource constrained embedded systems. It is therefore important to find implementations that use as little ...
Modern integrated circuits require careful attention to the soft-error rate (SER) resulting from bit upsets, which are normally caused by alpha particle or neutron hits. These eve...
Transistor leakage is poised to become the dominant source of power dissipation in digital systems, and reconfigurable devices are not immune to this problem. Modern FPGAs already...
Modern high performance processors employ advanced techniques for thermal management, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. As the importance of thermal effec...
