An important issue in modern cache designs is bridging the gap between wire and device delays. This warrants the use of more regular and modular structures to mask wire latencies....
With the increasing popularity of COTS (commercial off the shelf) components and multi-core processor in space and aviation applications, software fault tolerance becomes attracti...
Device and interconnect fabrics at the nanoscale will have a density of defects and susceptibility to transient faults far exceeding those of current silicon technologies. In this...
