Runtime Techniques to Mitigate Soft Errors in Network-on-Chip (NoC) Architectures

As aggressive scaling continues to push multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) to new limits, complex hardware structures combined with stringent area and power constraints will continue to diminish reliability. Waning reliability in integrated circuits will increase the susceptibility of transient and permanent faults. There is an urgent demand for adaptive error correction coding (ECC) schemes in network-on-chips to provide fault tolerance...
