Decades of technology scaling has brought the threat of soft errors to modern embedded
processors. Though several methods have been proposed to protect systems from soft …

Memory reliability is a key factor in the design of warehouse-scale computers. Prior work has
focused on the performance overheads of memory fault-tolerance schemes when errors do …

Statistical fault injection is a widely used methodology to early evaluation of soft error
reliability of microprocessor based systems. Due to the increasing complexity of the software …

Clouds have become attractive to applications, because of its low cost and on-demand
computing model with the use of virtualization technologies. With the continual increasing …

The fast-growing demand for computational capacity has led to the emergence of large-
scale systems where the parallel processing capabilities of many-core processors have …

Virtualized multicore systems represent an emerging computing paradigm in the critical
systems industry. Virtualization-based solutions leverage the different cores of the processor …

Maintaining the performance of high-performance computing (HPC) applications as failures
increase is a major challenge for next-generation extreme-scale systems. Recent work …

Online failure prediction approaches aim to predict the manifestation of failures at runtime
before the failures actually occur. Existing approaches generally refrain themselves from …

The effects of soft errors in processor cores have been widely studied. However, little has
been published about soft errors in uncore components, such as the memory subsystem and …

Soft errors have become a serious cause of concern with reducing feature sizes. The ability
to accommodate complex, Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) cores on a single chip …
