This paper presents a concurrent error detection technique for the control logic of a modern microprocessor. Our method is based on execution time prediction for each instruction ...
With aggressive superscalar processors delivering diminishing returns, alternate designs that make good use of the increasing chip densities are actively being explored. One such ...
