Demographic and epidemiologic transitions in Europe have brought a new health care
paradigm where life expectancy is increasing as well as the need for long-term care. To …

As process technology continues to shrink, a large number of bitcells in on-chip caches is
expected to be faulty. The number of defective cells varies from die-to-die, wafer-to-wafer …

Reducing the supply voltage in today′ s process technologies introduces significant
reliability challenges for on-chip SRAM arrays. As a reaction, many Cache Fault-Tolerance …

Voltage scaling to values near the threshold voltage is a promising technique to hold off the
many-core power wall. However, as voltage decreases, some SRAM cells are unable to …

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a commonly-used power-management
technique. Unfortunately, voltage scaling increases the impact of process variations on …

Power dissipation in Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) has been addressed by Dynamic Voltage
and Frequency Scaling (DVFS). But uncontrolled reduction of voltage supply results in …

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling puts threats to reliability in Chip Multiprocessors
(CMPs). Cache being the most susceptible to faults, the fault tolerance techniques are …

Processor caches play a critical role in the performance of today" s computer systems. As
technology scales, due to manufacturing defects and process variations a large number of …

Aggressive dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used to reduce the power
consumption of microprocessors. Unfortunately, voltage scaling increases the impact of …

Voltage scaling increases the impact of process variations resulting in an exponential ramp-
up in the number of malfunctioning SRAM cells. Our experimental findings reveal that for …
