Reliable Software for Unreliable Hardware: A Cross Layer Perspective

This book describesnovel software concepts to increase reliability under user-defined constraints.  The authors' approach bridges, for the firsttime, the reliability gap between hardware and software.

Readers will learn howto achieve increased soft error resilience on unreliable hardware, whileexploiting the inherent error masking characteristics and error (stemming from softerrors, aging, and process variations) mitigations potential at differentsoftware layers.
