Extensive Soft Error Evaluation

This chapter utilizes the power of the fault injection framework previously detailed to investigate soft error reliability from two distinct approaches: (1) the impact of different software stacks including OS, parallelization library, ISA using more than

Preface

The increasing computing capacity of multicore components such as processors and GPUs offers new opportunities for embedded and high-performance computing (HPC) domains. The progressively growing computing capacity of multicore-based systems enables to efficiently perform complex application workloads at a lower power consumption compared to traditional single-core solutions. Such efficiency and the ever-increasing complexity of application workloads encourage the industry to integrate more and more computing components into the same system. The number of computing components employed in large-scale HPC systems already exceeds a million cores, while 1000-cores on-chip platforms are available in the embedded community. Beyond the massive number of cores, the increasin
