Enhancing data availability in disk drives through background activities
Latent sector errors in disk drives affect only a few data sectors. They occur silently and are detected only when the affected area is accessed again. If a latent error is detect...

A study of cognitive resilience in a JPEG compressor
Many classes of applications are inherently tolerant to errors. One such class are applications designed for a human end user, where the capabilities of the human cognitive system...

Towards an understanding of anti-virtualization and anti-debugging behavior in modern malware
Many threats that plague today’s networks (e.g., phishing, botnets, denial of service attacks) are enabled by a complex ecosystem of attack programs commonly called malware. To ...

Improving dependability of network configuration through policy classification
As a network evolves over time, multiple operators modify its configuration, without fully considering what has previously been done. Similar policies are defined more than once, ...

A characterization of instruction-level error derating and its implications for error detection
In this work, we characterize a significant source of software derating that we call instruction-level derating. Instruction-level derating encompasses the mechanisms by which co...

Coverage of a microarchitecture-level fault check regimen in a superscalar processor
Conventional processor fault tolerance based on time/space redundancy is robust but prohibitively expensive for commodity processors. This paper explores an unconventional approac...
