Download or read book Hybrid Fault Tolerance Techniques to Detect Transient Faults in Embedded Processors written by José Rodrigo Azambuja and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes fault tolerance techniques based on software and hardware to create hybrid techniques. They are able to reduce overall performance degradation and increase error detection when associated with applications implemented in embedded processors. Coverage begins with an extensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art in fault tolerance techniques. The authors then discuss the best trade-off between software-based and hardware-based techniques and introduce novel hybrid techniques. Proposed techniques increase existing fault detection rates up to 100%, while maintaining low performance overheads in area and application execution time.
