Operating system support for redundant multithreading
Björn Döbel, Hermann Härtig, Michael Engel · 2012
In modern commodity operating systems, core functionality is usually designed assuming that the underlying processor hardware always functions correctly. Shrinking hardware feature sizes break this assumption. Existing approaches to cope with these issues either use hardware functionality that is not available in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems or poses additional requirements on the software development side, making reuse of existing software hard, if not impossible.
