RAW 2024 Invited Talk-3: Self-aware Reliable and Reconfigurable Computing Systems — An Overview
Diana Göhringer · 2024
In demanding environments like space, avionics or robotics, computing systems face challenges affecting their lifetime and reliability. Traditional approaches like static hardware redundancy prove ineffective for modern, complex systems. This talk presents an overview of self-aware, reliable, and reconfigurable computing systems leveraging Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Despite increasing application demands, FPGA resources remain limited, posing challenges in implementing static redundancy alongside high performance and energy efficiency. Addressing these challenges requires innovative resilience concepts, emphasizing adaptability, reliability, and energy optimization. This talk surveys existing literature and identifies open challenges in achieving resilient computing systems for demanding applications.
