3. 2. Fault Injection for Studying Error Behavior and Validation of Error Detecting Mechanisms

   Författare :Marcus Rimén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; concurrent error detection; functional error model; control flow error; error detection coverage; permanent faults; data error; error detection latency; simulation-based fault injection; transient faults; physical fault injection; dependability evaluation;

   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.

4. 3. On Concurrent Error Detection and Error Propagation

   Författare :Joakim Ohlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; error models; control flow monitoring; simulation experiments; concurrent error detection; permanent faults; watchdog processors; fault injection; transient faults;

   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.

5. 4. Hardware and Software Mechanisms for Control Flow Checking

   Författare :Ghassem Miremadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fault tolerance; error detection latency; signature monitoring; watchdog processor; dependability evaluation; transient faults; physical fault injection; concurrent error detection; control flow checking; error detection coverage;

   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

7. 5. Computational Ice Sheet Dynamics : Error control and efficiency

   Författare :Josefin Ahlkrona; Per Lötstedt; Jesse Johnson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ice sheet modelling; stokes equations; shallow ice approximation; finite element method; perturbation expansions; non-newtonian fluids; free surface flow; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Ice sheets, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or Antarctic Ice Sheet, have a fundamental impact on landscape formation, the global climate system, and on sea level rise. The slow, creeping flow of ice can be represented by a non-linear version of the Stokes equations, which treat ice as a non-Newtonian, viscous fluid. LÄS MER
