摘要: ElastIC must deal with extremes a multiple core processor subjected to huge process variations, transistor degradations at varying rates, and device failures. In this article, we present broad vision of new cohesive architecture, ElastIC, which can provide pathway successful design in unpredictable silicon. is based on aggressive run-time self-diagnosis, adaptivity, self-healing. It incorporates several novel concepts these areas brings together research efforts from the device, circuit, testing, microarchitecture domains. Architectures like will become vital extremely scaled CMOS technologies (such as 22 nm); ideally, they target applications such multimedia, Web services, transaction processing
