We have learnt the following definitions of Reliability and Availability from the Fault Tolerance Measures post: Reliability, R(t): Probability that the system has been up continuously during the whole interval [0,t], given it was up at time 0. This measure is suitable…

Redundancy in Fault Tolerance
In the previous post we have understood the need of Fault Tolerance in VLSI System Design. A VLSI system can broadly be considered as a union of following 3 layers: Hardware Layer (Processing cores, Memories, etc.) Software Layer (OS, Program…
Need of Fault Tolerant VLSI System Design
In recent few years VLSI design has achieved remarkable growth. High performance (peta-scale) computing is a reality now and we are expecting exa-scale computing by 2020. We talk about many core processor now a days. Intel’s Xeon Phi (Knights Landing)…
