Fault tolerant design implementation on radiation hardened by design SRAM-Based FPGAs
… development time and cost, and increased design and testing flexibility. The Xilinx Virtex-5QV is the first commercially available Radiation Hardened By Design (RHBD) SRAM-based FPGA; however, not all of its internal components are hardened against radiation-induced errors. This thesis …

Electrothermal Analysis of Gallium Nitride Island Transistor eHEMT Devices for Fault Tolerant Design
A full 3D thermal simulation structure was built using Atar based on the GS66516T device from GaN Systems with individually controllable generation regions for each island transistor in an array. The thermal model was linked to electrical SPICE models in OptiSPICE to produce an electrothermal …

Distributed dynamic partially stateful dataflow
… eliminate duplicate effort. Noria's distributed design enables it to leverage the compute power of an entire cluster while providing high availability thanks to its fault tolerant design. On a single machine, Noria already outperforms MySQL by up to 7 x, but when running across a cluster of …

Fine-grained fault-tolerance : reliability as a fungible resource
The traditional design of logic circuits, based on reliable components, is incompatible with the next generation of devices relying on fewer resources and subject to high rates of soft errors. These allow a trade-off between failure probability and their space and power consumption. Using this, we …

Integrating reliability into performance-oriented design of fault-tolerant switch-mode DC-DC converters for photovoltaic energy-conversion applications
… bridges the disconnect between two consequential design concerns in switch-mode power converters deployed in photovoltaic energy-processing applications: steady-state performance and system reliability. A general framework for fault-tolerant design is presented in the context of a multiphase, …

Automatic Design Space Exploration of Fault-tolerant Embedded Systems Architectures
Embedded Systems may have competing design objectives, such as to maximize the reliability, increase the functional safety, minimize the product cost, and minimize the energy consumption. The architectures must be therefore configured to meet varied requirements and multiple design objectives. In …

COPING WITH DISCREPANCIES OF THE MANUFACTURED WEIGHTS IN THRESHOLD LOGIC GATES
… promising approach in the deep sub-micron design era. The gate that is implemented with threshold logic is called a Threshold Logic Gate (TLG). The logic output value of a Threshold Logic Gate (TLG) depends on the weighted sum of its inputs. Manufactured weights in the threshold logic gates …

Flexible Fault Tolerance for the Robot Operating System
… aspect of realizing an autonomous vehicle is a fault-tolerant design that can ensure the safe operation of the vehicle under unfavorable conditions.</p> <p>The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the feasibility of adding a dedicated fault tolerance module into a ROS based architecture. The fault …

The design of periodically self restoring redundant systems
Most existing fault tolerant systems employ some form of dynamic redundancy and can be considered to be incident driven. Their recovery mechanisms are triggered by the detection of a fault. This dissertation investigates an alternative approach to fault tolerant design where the redundant system …

An iconic approach to parallel design
… to overcome several problems inherent to the design of processes which execute in parallel. Specifically, what is required is a technique which: 1) can display objects in parallel, 2) can hide unwanted detail, 3) can expose timing and communication, and 4) can translate the graphic model into …
