Use ECP, not ECC, for hard failures in resistive memories
As leakage and other charge storage limitations begin to impair the scalability of DRAM, non-volatile resistive memories are being developed as a potential replacement. Unfortunat...

Efficient Fault Tolerance: An Approach to Deal with Transient Faults in Multiprocessor Architectures
Dynamic error processing approaches are an important mechanism to increase the reliability in a multiprocessor system, while making efficient use of the available resources. To th...

Transient Fault Detectors
We present fault detectors for transient faults, (i.e. corruptions of the memory of the processors, but not of the code of the processors). We distinguish fault detectors for tasks...

System-Level Versus User-Defined Checkpointing
Checkpointing and rollback recovery is a very effective technique to tolerate transient faults and preventive shutdowns. In the past, most of the checkpointing schemes published i...

Optimal Discrimination between Transient and Permanent Faults
An important practical problem in fault diagnosis is discriminating between permanent faults and transient faults. In many computer systems, the majority of errors are due to tran...

A New Heuristic to Discriminate between Transient and Intermittent Faults
Effective discrimination between transient and permanent faults is a very important practical problem in (dependable) system design. A count-andthreshold mechanism named -count, d...

Experimental Assessment of COTS DBMS Robustness under Transient Faults
This paper evaluates the behavior of a common off-theshelf (COTS) database management system (DBMS) in presence of transient faults. Database applications have traditionally been ...

Transient errors and rollback recovery in LZ compression
This paper analyzes the data integrity of one of the most widely used lossless data compression techniques, Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression. In this algorithm, because the data recons...

Reducing pin and area overhead in fault-tolerant FPGA-based designs
This paper proposes a new high-level technique for designing fault tolerant systems in SRAM-based FPGAs, without modifications in the FPGA architecture. Traditionally, TMR has bee...

Novel Transient Fault Hardened Static Latch
In this paper we analyze the effects of transient faults (TFs) affecting the internal nodes of conventional latch structures and we propose a new latch design which allows to tole...
