Dependable Network-on-Chip Router Able to Simultaneously Tolerate Soft Errors and Crosstalk

摘要: As the technology scales down into deep sub-micron domain, more IP cores are integrated in same die and new communication architectures used to meet performance power constraints. However, technologic advance makes devices interconnects sensitive types of malfunctions failures, such as crosstalk transient faults. This paper proposes fault tolerant techniques protect NoC routers against occurrence soft errors at time, with minimum area overhead. Experimental results show that a cost-effective protection alternative can be achieved by combination error correction codes time redundancy techniques.
