Using hardware vulnerability factors to enhance AVF analysis
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...

Eliminating microarchitectural dependency from Architectural Vulnerability
The Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) of a hardware structure is the probability that a fault in the structure will affect the output of a program. AVF captures both microa...
