With power density and hence cooling costs rising exponentially, processor packaging can no longer be designed for the worst case, and there is an urgent need for runtime processo...

This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional log...

In this paper, we study the possibility of using logic defect-level prediction models to predict the detection behavior of statistical timing defects. We compare two known logic m...

Single-event upsets from particle strikes have become a key challenge in microprocessor design. Techniques to deal with these transient faults exist, but come at a cost. Designers...

High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
