Architecture Design for Soft Errors

This book provides a comprehensive description of the architectural techniques to tackle the soft error problem. It covers the new methodologies for quantitative analysis of soft errors as well as novel, cost-effective architectural techniques to mitigate them. To provide readers with a better grasp of the broader problem definition and solution space, this book also delves into the physics of soft errors and reviews current circuit and software mitigation techniques. It provides the methodologies necessary to quantify the effect of radiation-induced soft errors as well as state-of-the-art techniques to protect against them.
