Abstract
Future computing systems (Teradevices) will probably contain more than 1000 cores on a single die. To exploit this parallelism, threaded dataflow execution models are promising, since they provide side-effect free execution and reduced synchronization overhead. But the terascale transistor integration of such chips make them orders of magnitude more vulnerable to voltage fluctuation, radiation, and process variations. This means reliability techniques have to be an essential part of such future systems, too. In this paper, we conceptualize a fault tolerant architecture for a scalable threaded dataflow system. We provide methods to detect permanent, intermittent, and transient faults during the execution. Furthermore, we propose a recovery technique for dataflow threadsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
