Nanoscale technology nodes bring reliability concerns back to the center stage of digital system design. A systematic classification of approaches that increase system resilience in the presence of functional hardware (HW)-induced errors is presented, dealing with higher system abstractions, such as the (micro)architecture, the mapping, and platform software (SW). The field is surveyed in a systematic way based on nonoverlapping categories, which add insight into the ongoing work by exposing similarities and differences. HW and SW solutions are discussed in a similar fashion so that interrelationships become apparent. The presented categories are illustrated by representative literature examples to illustrate their properties. Moreover, it is demonstrated how hybrid schemes can be decomposed into their primitive components.

Soft core based embedded systems in critical aerospace applications
There is an increasing interest in the aerospace industry to reduce the cost of the systems by means of using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) devices. The engineering of novel microsatellites and nanosatellites are clear examples of this new trend. ...
Hypergraph-Cover Diversity for Maximally-Resilient Reconfigurable Systems
HPCC-CSS-ICESS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 17th International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications, 2015 IEEE 7th International Symposium on Cyberspace Safety and Security, and 2015 IEEE 12th International Conf on Embedded Software and SystemsScaling trends of reconfigurable hardware (RH) and their design flexibility have proliferated their use in dependability-critical embedded applications. Although their reconfigurability can enable significant fault tolerance, due to the complexity of ...
Understanding and Mitigating Hardware Failures in Deep Learning Training Systems
ISCA '23: Proceedings of the 50th Annual International Symposium on Computer ArchitectureDeep neural network (DNN) training workloads are increasingly susceptible to hardware failures in datacenters. For example, Google experienced "mysterious, difficult to identify problems" in their TPU training systems due to hardware failures [7]. ...
