As technology scales, transistors become smaller and aggressive power optimization
techniques combined with high operation frequencies and performance-enhancing …

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 memory subsystem and I/O …

Soft errors arising from energetic particle strikes pose a significant reliability concern for
computing systems, especially for those running in noisy environments. Technology scaling …

Soft errors caused by strikes arising from energetic particles pose a significant reliability
concern for computing systems. In this study, we first introduce a model for soft error …

Technology constraints and application characteristics are radically changing as we scale to
the end of silicon technology. Devices are becoming increasingly brittle, highly varying in …

This paper presents a cost-efficient technique to jointly use circuit-and architecture-level
techniques to protect an embedded processor's register file against soft errors. The basic …

Soft errors are a growing concern for processor reliability. Recent work has motivated
architecture level studies of soft errors since the architecture level can mask many raw errors …

The data cache performance of a set of computationally intensive programs is examined.
The measurement of cache performance arises from an interest in improving the …

In this paper, we propose a hardware performance monitor that provides support not only for
measuring cache misses and the addresses associated with them, but also for determining …

Computer systems increasingly depend on exploiting program dynamic behavior to optimize
performance, power and reliability. Prior studies have shown that program execution …
