Abstract

Modern memory devices may suffer from faults, where some bits may arbitrarily flip and corrupt the values of the affected memory cells. The appearance of such faults may seriously compromise the correctness and performance of computations. In recent years, many algorithms for computing in the presence of memory faults have been introduced in the literature: in particular, an algorithm or a data structure is called resilient if it is able to work correctly on the set of uncorrupted values. In this invited talk I will survey recent work on resilient algorithms and data structures.
