Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Fail-soft systems with reconfigurable devices, which recover themselves by repeating isolation of faulty portions with graceful degradation, have been proposed. In this paper, we implement a fail-soft system on an FPGA and discuss the performance and availability of the system. The implemented system can infer the type of faults from obtained errors, and then adaptively reconfigure itself, so that it can achieve high availability while keeping high performance. As an experiment, we measure the reconfigure time and the total run time to show the effectiveness of the implemented fail-soft system.
