As technology scales ever further, device unreliability is creating excessive complexity for
hardware to maintain the illusion of perfect operation. In this paper, we consider whether …

With continued CMOS scaling, future shipped hardware will be increasingly vulnerable to in-
the-field faults. To be broadly deployable, the hardware reliability solution must incur low …

Software-only reliability techniques protect against transient faults without the overhead of
hardware techniques. Although existing low-level software-only fault-tolerance techniques …

As chip densities and clock rates increase, processors are becoming more susceptible to
transient faults that can affect program correctness. Computer architects have typically …

As we connect more microcontrollers to the Internet and employ them to control the physical
world around us, their reliability and security are increasingly important. Many …

To meet an insatiable consumer demand for greater performance at less power, silicon
technology has scaled to unprecedented dimensions. However, the pursuit of faster …

Traditional fault-tolerance techniques typically utilize resources ineffectively because they
cannot adapt to the changing reliability and performance demands of a system. This paper …

Software failures in server applications are a significant problem for preserving system
availability. We present ASSURE, a system that introduces rescue points that recover …

Device scaling and large-scale integration have led to growing concerns about soft errors in
microprocessors. To date, in all but the most demanding applications, implementing parity …

Recovering faults in drivers is difficult compared to other code because their state is spread
across both memory and a device. Existing driver fault-tolerance mechanisms either restart …
