Abstract

Using the flexibility provided by multiple functionalities we have developed a new approach for permanent fault-tolerance: Heterogeneous Built-In-Resiliency (HBIR). HBIR processor synthesis imposes several unique tasks on the synthesis process: (i) latency determination targeting k-unit fault-tolerance, (ii) application-to-faulty-unit matching and (iii) HBIR scheduling and assignment algorithms. We address each of them and demonstrate the effectiveness of the overall approach, the synthesis algorithms, and software implementations on a number of designs.
