Effects of Various Applications on Relative LifeTime of Processor Cores

摘要

The lifetime of integrated chip tends to decrease more and more with technology scaling. To check if a design is robust, in this paper we present RTME (Real Time MTTF Evaluation), a simulation framework that enables the evaluation of Reliability at higher level of abstraction layer. Using the output of RTME, we are able to distinguish the effect of different benchmarks on different blocks of the processor.
