Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents efficient techniques for concurrent error detection of processor components. It deals with concurrent check methods for complex data-path elements like FPUs or register-files. We propose a Berger code prediction unit for a multistage add-sub-FPU. Furthermore, the suitability of Berger code for register-files is discussed. As an alternative, the Cross-Parity observation is introduced. The applicability of these concepts was evaluated on several experimental processor designs up to double-precision pipeline processors.
