The discrete cosine transform (DCT) is a standard method by which images may be
compressed. Initially, the image is divided into 8/spl times/8-pixel blocks, each of which is …

Advanced computing systems realized in forthcoming technologies hold the promise of a
significant increase of computational capabilities. However, the same path that is leading …

Recent advance in the space application has increased the requirements for more real-time
and reliable on-board computation. Running in a harsh space environment, on-board …

Single event upset is a common source of failure in microprocessor-based systems working
in environment with increased radiation level especially in places like accelerators and …

The problem of designing radiation-tolerant devices working in application critical systems
becomes very important especially if human life depends on the reliability of control …

Technology shrinking and sensitization have led to more and more transient faults in
embedded systems. Transient faults are intermittent and non-predictable faults caused by …

Down scaling of CMOS technologies has resulted in high clock frequencies, smaller features
sizes and low power consumption. But it reduces the soft error tolerance of the VLSI circuits …

The small feature sizes in current Networks-on-chip (NoCs) have increased the importance
of reliability. However, existing fault tolerance schemes incur costs in terms of performance …

FITIn is a Valgrind-based tool created for performing a bit error in a target application. So far,
loading operations from the memory have been monitored to schedule error injections …

Component based approach mitigating the risk of system failure has been proposed by
detecting of most critical components which's malfunction leads the system towards failure …
