1. Hardware and Software Mechanisms for Control Flow Checking
Sammanfattning : The improvement of dependability in computing systems requires the evaluation of fault tolerance mechanisms such as error detection, error recovery and reconfiguration. Central to this thesis is an experimental evaluation of several hardware and/or software implemented mechanisms for the concurrent detection of control flow errors. LÄS MER
2. On Concurrent Error Detection and Error Propagation
Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses three important steps in the selection of error detection mechanisms for microprocessors: (i) the design and evaluation of error detection mechanisms, (ii) the study of microprocessor error behavior and propagation and (iii) the design and use of error models. The first part of the thesis evaluates four error detection methods with respect to para- meters such as error detection coverage and performance loss, while the second and third parts focus on determining the error patterns most likely to occur in a computer system when different types of faults are present and how to incorporate those error patterns into error models.

3. Fault Injection for Studying Error Behavior and Validation of Error Detecting Mechanisms
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the design and validation of low-cost error detecting mechanisms that can be used to implement self-checking computers. The research objectives of the thesis are three-fold: (i) to investigate and develop a simulation-based fault injection technique that can be used on a wide range of VHDL simulation models, (ii) to investigate error propagation mechanisms in microprocessors in order to understand how to design low-cost error detecting mechanisms and (iii) to design and validate error detecting mechanisms.
