Microarchitecture-Based Introspection: A Technique for Transient-Fault Tolerance in microprocessors
This paper proposes Microarchitecture-Based Introspection (MBI), a transient-fault detection technique, which utilizes the wasted processing bandwidth during long-latency cache misses for redundant execution of the instruction stream. MBI has modest hardware cost, requires minimal modifications to the existing microarchitecture, and is particularly well suited for memory-intensive applications. The evaluation reveals...

What is a Smart Card?
A smart card is a card that is embedded with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip with non-programmable logic. The microprocessor card can add, delete, and otherwise manipulate information on the card, while a memory-chip card (for example, pre-paid phone cards) can only undertake...

Accelerators for High Performance Computing Investigation
For many years microprocessor single thread performance has increased at rates consistent with Moore's Law for transistors. In the 1970s-1990s the improvement was mostly obtained by increasing clock frequencies. Clock speeds are now improving slowly and microprocessor vendors are increasing the number of cores per chip to obtain improved performance....
