The cluster reliability is evaluated with a technique that is used in case of either a single error or multiple simultaneous faults. Simulation results show that the cluster is more robust to stuck-ats than to bit-flips, whatever the configuration memory is.

The unintended and undesirable result of this scaling is that it makes integrated circuits susceptible to soft errors normally caused by alpha particle or neutron hits. These events of radiation strike resulting into bit upsets referred to as single event upsets(SEU), become increasingly of concern for the reliable circuit operation in the field. Storage elements are worst hit by this phenomenon. As we further scale down, there is greater interest in reliability of the circuits and systems, apart from the performance, power and area aspects. In this paper we propose an improved 12T SEU tolerant SRAM cell design. The proposed SRAM cell is economical in terms of area overhead. It is easy to fabricate as compared to earlier designs. Simulation results show that the proposed cell is highly robust, as it does not flip even for a transient pulse with 62 times the Qcrit of a standard 6T SRAM cell.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128486877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel fault tolerant flip-flop (SETTOFF) that addresses timing errors and soft errors in one cost-efficient architecture. In SETTOFF, most SEUs are detected by monitoring the illegal transitions at the output of a flip-flop and recovered by inverting the cell state. SETs, timing errors and the other SEUs are detected by a time redundancy-based architecture. For a 10% activity rate, SETTOFF consumes 35.8% and 39.7% more power than a library flip-flop in 120nm and 65nm technologies, respectively. It only consumes about 5.7% more power than the detection based RazorII flip-flop [1]. SETTOFF therefore provides an increased coverage of fault tolerance with only moderate increase in overhead, hence it is suitable for building highly reliable systems at lower cost than the traditional techniques.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127071462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The set of errors that are masked (undetected) by all codewords form the detection-kernel of the code. Codes whose kernel contains only the zero vector, i.e. codes that can detect any nonzero error (of any multiplicity) with probability greater than zero, are called robust. Codes whose kernel is of size greater than one are considered as partially-robust codes. Partially-robust codes of rate greater than one-half can be derived from the the cubic Karpovsky-Taubin code [6]. This paper introduces a construction of robust codes of rate >; 1/2. The codes are derived from the Karpovsky-Taubin code by puncturing the redundancy bits. It is shown that if the number of remaining redundancy bits (r) is greater than one then the code is robust and any error vector is detected with probability 1, 1-2-r or 1 - 2-r+1. The number of the error vectors associated with each probability is given for robust codes having odd number of information bits.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125244794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed technique can be used for both combinational as well as sequential circuits. In order to make a logic circuit robust for a transient error, the well known gate sizing technique is used. A 65nm inverters based master slave flip flop is considered for the case study. The result shows a trade off between the robustness and the performance (power consumption and operational speed) while performing design optimization for a single event upset. Furthermore, it shows that the width of devices cannot be increased arbitrarily in order to make a flip flop resilient since it can result in timing violation. The proposed design optimization technique incorporates the timing aspects and finds the optimal widths that make a gate robust against a single event upset.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123831270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, chips with identical cores help cope with increasing defect rates in delivering reasonable yield levels via the utilization of spare cores. In this paper, we propose a comparison-based TAM that is capable of handling spare identical cores; the proposed TAM guarantees the test of a chip through minimum bandwidth in minimum test time, while ensuring no yield loss in the presence of spare identical cores, as its design is driven by the number of spare cores on the chip. The proposed solution also enables the identification of all the good cores in usable chips, supporting models where chips are priced based on number of good cores. We also extend the proposed TAM by adding efficient diagnostic features.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125927069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much recent research suggests significant power and energy benefits of relaxing correctness constraints in future processors. Such processors with relaxed constraints have often been referred to as stochastic processors. In this talk, I will discuss three approaches for building applications for such processors. The first approach relies on relaxing the correctness of the application based upon an analysis of application characteristics. The second approach relies upon detecting and then correcting faults within the application as they arise. The third approach transforms applications into more error tolerant forms. In this paper, we show how these techniques that enhance or exploit the error tolerance of applications can yield significant power and energy benefits when computed on stochastic processors.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123250411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C-elements are one of the state holders that are widely used in asynchronous circuits. In this paper, our investigations focus on the vulnerability of different latch types based on C-elements with respect to soft errors. Our aim is to design single event upset (SEU) tolerant latch that has the capability of both detecting and correcting soft errors based on converting single rail to dual-rail configuration and Razor flip flop implementation. In the event of an SEU hitting sensitive nodes and causing the state to temporarily change, an error is generated and a shadow latch restores the correct data. We have demonstrated the functionality of our proposed latch by simulating the design using UMC90nm technology. We also measured error rate of our proposed latch by using an Altera Cyclone II FPGA board. We have obtained the voltage dependence of the error rates. The results show that our proposed latch has less than 1.5% faults propagated at the output.","PeriodicalId":246222,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 18th International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131301880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, their test (both at the end of the manufacturing and on-line) is crucial for the quality and reliability of the whole product. While in many cases cache test is based on Design for Testability (DfT) techniques, there are situations in which the functional approach is the only viable one. Previous papers addressed the issue of developing test programs for testing caches: since the constant trend is to organize them in different levels, in this paper we address the test of second level caches (L2).
