RAT: A Lightweight Architecture Independent System-Level Soft Error Mitigation Technique

Sofia: An Automated Framework for Early Soft Error Assessment, Identification, and Mitigation

“…the other techniques. This behaviour corroborates along with our previous work [42], which indicates that the top registers (x15-x29) are, in general, more susceptible to the occurrence of soft errors. It is also possible to notice that the RAT-s3…”

“…SOFIA also incorporates a lightweight technique called Register Allocation Technique (RAT) [42], which restricts the number of available registers for specific functions aiming to minimise the number of vulnerable registers. RAT can be fine-tuned to achieve the highest level of relative trade-off in terms of performance and reliability.…”

A Lightweight Mitigation Technique for Resource- Constrained Devices Executing DNN Inference Models Under Neutron Radiation

“…This work adopts the lightweight technique, called Register Allocation Technique (RAT) [10], to mitigate the occurrence of soft errors in a 7-layer CNN inference model. The RAT technique does not involve code redundancy and is an architectureindependent approach, which restricts the number of available registers for specific functions aiming to minimise the number of vulnerable registers.…”

“…This paper contributes by investigating the efficiency of the Register Allocation Technique (RAT) [10] when applied to a convolutional neural network (CNN) model running on an Arm Cortex-M4 and M7 microprocessors under the effects of neutron radiation. RAT is a compiler-based technique that does not involve code redundancy, but rather restricts the number of available registers used to execute specific functions, thus reducing the exposed area.…”
