Abstract

Abstract: Technology evolution has raised serious reliability considerations, as transistor dimensions shrink and modern microprocessors become denser and more vulnerable to faults. Reliability studies have proposed a plethora of methodologies for assessing system vulnerability which, however, highly rely on traditional reliability metrics that solely express failure rate over time. Although Failures In Time (FIT) is a very strong and representative reliability metric, it may fail to offer an objective comparison of highly diverse systems, such as CPUs against GPUs or other accelerators that are often employed to execute the same algorithms implemented for these platforms..
