Dependability Evaluation of Transient Fault Effects in Reconfigurable Compute Fabric Devices
Luca Sterpone, Massimo Violante · 2006
Reconfigurable compute fabrics (RCFs) are cellular architectures in which an array of computing elements and a configurable interconnection fabric are combined with a general-purpose processor. RCFs can play an important role in safety- or mission-critical applications, provided that a clear understanding of their dependability is available. In this paper, we report an evaluation of the effects induced by transient faults within the resources of an RCF Motorola MRC6011 and we resorted to extensive fault injection to investigate the effects of transient faults
