Abstract

A single radiation induced transient can cause multiple errors in a circuit. Hardware and time-based mitigation solutions able to handle multiple errors can be very expensive in terms of area and performance. To face this problem, recomputation has been proposed as a means to cope with transient errors in this new scenario. In this paper, we discuss the effects of the levels of granularity in the recomputation process, and the verification time cost, in the final application execution time when dealing with multiple errors.
