| Abstract(in English) | As the feature size of integrated circuits shrinks, their voltage and noise margins are lowered and the soft error issue becomes more and more serious. In this paper, we propose a reliability evaluation technique for soft-error susceptible computer systems. Conventional static soft-error estimation for computer systems with SERs of memory modules results in their pessimistic SERs. This is because memory cells under usage depend on dynamic behavior of computer systems and not all soft errors on memory modules make computer systems faulty. In our proposed technique, dynamic behavior of computer systems is taken into account for accurate soft-error estimation. First, we introduce a model to evaluate soft-errors of computer systems. To our best knowledge, this is the first study to model dynamic behavior of computer systems. Next, soft-error estimation algorithm considering dynamic behavior of computer systems is proposed. Our reliability evaluation technique gives system designers a means to estimate the number of soft errors of their products early in design with low cost. |
