Capturing vulnerability variations for register files
2013
Soft error rates are estimated based on worst-case architectural vulnerability factor (AVF). Therefore, it makes tracking real-time accurate AVF very attractive to computer designers: more accurate AVF numbers will allow turning on more features at runtime while keeping the promised SDC and DUE rates. This paper presents a hardware mechanism based on linear regressions to estimate the AVF (SDC and DUE) of the register file for out-of-order cores. Our results show that we are able to have a high correlation factor at low cost.
