While the move to smaller transistors has been a boon for performance it has dramatically
increased the cost to fabricate chips using those smaller transistors. This forces the vast …

We present here a report produced by a workshop on 'Addressing failures in exascale
computing'held in Park City, Utah, 4–11 August 2012. The charter of this workshop was to …

In this paper, we revisit the system vulnerability stack for transient faults. We reveal severe
pitfalls in widely used vulnerability measurement approaches, which separate the hardware …

Ensuring long processor lifetimes by limiting failuresdue to wear-out related hard errors is a
critical requirementfor all microprocessor manufacturers. We observethat continuous device …

Aggressive technology scaling provides designers with an ever increasing budget of
cheaper and faster transistors. Unfortunately, this trend is accompanied by a decline in …

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 …

Future microprocessors need low-cost solutions for reliable operation in the presence of
failure-prone devices. A promising approach is to detect hardware faults by deploying low …

Memory devices represent a key component of datacenter total cost of ownership (TCO),
and techniques used to reduce errors that occur on these devices increase this cost. Existing …

Deep neural network (DNN) training workloads are increasingly susceptible to hardware
failures in datacenters. For example, Google experienced" mysterious, difficult to identify …

Due to the evolution of technology constraints, especially energy constraints which may lead
to heterogeneous multi-cores, and the increasing number of defects, the design of defect …
